Connect Kafka to client devices at the edge
Download resourceApache Kafka is a widely adopted event streaming solution. Thousands of companies use Kafka for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, and mission-critical applications.
Despite its strengths (low latency, scalability, durability, fault tolerance), it’s important to highlight that Kafka is not a proxy for millions of client devices.
So, the question is, how do you connect your Kafka pipeline to end-users at the network edge in realtime?
Ably is a serverless WebSocket platform designed for realtime pub/sub messaging at the edge. Ably is often used as middleware for sending mission-critical Kafka data to millions of web, mobile, and IoT devices, via a fault-tolerant, autoscaling global edge network.
