Streaming Event Data into DataHub

Event stream services support real-time ingestion, distribution, and processing of events or messages from various sources to multiple consumers, facilitating data integration, event-driven architecture, and real-time analytics. Starting with DataHub V11 and higher, Event Streams from Apache Kafka and Azure Event Hubs are available as a data sources. When you license the Apache Kafka or Azure Event Hubs connector in DataHub you receive functionality for receiving Event Streams but also writing/sending data to those systems through the External Historian connector.

Using Apache Kafka as a DataHub Source

In addition to being able to send data to Apache Kafka using DataHub's External Historian connector, DataHub can also source data from Apache Kafka for use with other DataHub features. 

Apache Kafka provides distributed, fault-tolerant, and scalable event streaming capabilities, often used for real-time data integration, event-driven architectures, and building data pipelines.
