Kafka Integration

As an engineer managing multiple related applications, Kafka integration would help me facilitate datastreams that allow me to connect data from different sources. Additionally, it will facilitate event-driven realtime messaging features.

John Kennedy: Thanks to you and the team for making this happen!

We've used the Neo4j sink connector through Kafka connect (https://neo4j.com/labs/kafka/) for nearly a year now against Aura clusters with good results, though query logging would help a lot in debugging. Or are you talking about sourcing data from a cluster, CDC-style?

Oren Goldberg

terry@franklindata.com.au: Yeah, I'm aware that you can bring data into Aura with Kafka, which is a great start. I'd like to be able to output from neo4j based on events happening on the application.

Oren Goldberg: I'm also interested in using Aura as a source for a Kafka Connector. Is there any update on that topic? Did you realize that use-case for you with Aura?

John Kennedy

Thanks Oren Goldberg for raising this, let's see what the demand is amongst the other users.

John Kennedy: I am putting together an application similar to what Will Reynolds from Hoare Lea presented at Nodes last year, which is essentially making Neo4j a data synchronisation point/single source of truth for multiple applications. So being able to emit events on change from Neo4j is paramount for me. This is already available with Neo4j Streams: https://neo4j.com/labs/kafka/, so can you please make this available in Aura?
