Microsoft Azure IoT Connects to Apache Kafka to Manage Device Links
Microsoft | December 05, 2016
A new open-source connector enables businesses to build IoT applications that gather and make sense of mountain of data from disparate sources. Building an Azure-backed internet of things (IoT) application that uses the popular open-source Apache Kafka stream ingestion technology just got easier. Like RabbitMQ, Kafka is considered an IoT application building block for enterprises. It acts as a queuing system for large IoT deployments, enabling storage and analytics systems to catch up to the high volumes of data produced by disparate sensors and other connected devices.
