Expand the Benefit of Confluent and Diffusion
The Diffusion Kafka Connector is a Kafka Connect plug-in that allows web, mobile, and IoT clients to consume and send real-time and event-driven data that is stored as rich data structures within Kafka – with optimal bandwidth efficiency, at scale, and in real-time.
Confluent and Diffusion: Extend Apache Kafka® to the Last Mile - Reliably and at Scale
Confluent Platform is an enterprise-ready data streaming platform with a complete set of advanced capabilities designed to enable event transformations and help you accelerate application development and connectivity. Diffusion extends the scalability and functionality of Confluent Platform by managing and distributing events to the last mile, across applications, devices and systems.
Extend Kafka to the last mile
Easily and quickly extend Confluent Platform data pipelines across the web clients, mobile users and IoT applications with Diffusion.
Reliable, performant event streaming at the edge
Retain high-throughput and quality of service you expect from Confluent Platform even if network performance degrades with satellite and mobile connections.
Ingests and disperses data
Diffusion is both a sink and a source for Confluent Platform, ingests from disparate sources, and disperses data to large numbers of end user applications and devices.
Freedom of Choice
Expand and scale on-premise, in-the-cloud, or in hybrid environments to match rapidly increasing or fluctuating demand, with minimal investment in infrastructure.
Confluent Platform and Diffusion Integration
Diffusion integrates with Confluent Platform seamlessly with the Diffusion Kafka Adapter. By simply placing the adapter in your Kafka deployment’s plugin directory, you can use the Confluent Control Center UI to easily add a new source or sink connector for ingestion or broadcast of events.
Diffusion exponentially scales Kafka performance by providing the ability to handle millions of topics and concurrent connections. It scales data independently from consumers, removing the overhead of scaling real-time data on the consumer-side. Plus, in-flight transformation rules allow event data to be disaggregated or remapped, enabling intelligent distribution of data based upon individual consumer needs.
