An HTTP bridge for Apache Kafka®
HTTP & AMQP bridge for Apache Kafka®
This project provides a software component which acts as a bridge between different standard protocols and an Apache Kafka® cluster. The available protocols are:
It provides a different way to interact with Apache Kafka because the latter natively supports only a custom (proprietary) protocol. Thanks to the bridge, all clients which can speak different standard protocols can connect to Apache Kafka cluster in order to send and receive messages to / from topics.
Running the bridge

You can use the Strimzi Kafka operator to deploy the Kafka Bridge with HTTP support on Kubernetes and OpenShift.
