In this episode of PithorAcademy Presents: Deep Dive, we introduce Kafka Connect, the framework that integrates Apache Kafka with the rest of your data ecosystem. Without Connect, Kafka is isolated—but with it, Kafka becomes the central nervous system of real-time data pipelines.

We cover:

• Source & Sink Connectors – moving data into and out of Kafka

• ETL Analogy – why Connect is like plug-and-play ETL for streaming

• Popular Connectors – databases, cloud storage, and enterprise systems

By the end, you’ll understand how Kafka Connect simplifies integrations, reduces custom code, and makes Kafka truly production-ready by bridging it with external data systems.
