Streaming Your IoT Data to Kafka with EMQX

Why MQTT & Kafka Using EMQX

MQTT

MQTT is the de-facto standard messaging protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT), known for its lightweight and efficient design. It is perfect for connecting millions of IoT devices, even over unreliable networks, while ensuring scalability and reliability.

Kafka

Apache Kafka is a data streaming platform connecting and exchanging data between enterprise systems. However, Kafka is not built for the IoT because it requires a stable network, consumes more resources, and only supports thousands of clients and topics.

EMQX

EMQX is a highly scalable MQTT messaging broker with built-in Kafka integration. EMQX makes MQTT and Kafka a perfect match for connecting millions of IoT devices to enterprise systems and unlocking business value from IoT data.

Full MQTT & Kafka Integration with Minimal Effort

EMQX’s out-of-the-box integration effortlessly streams MQTT messages into Kafka's data flow. With the help of EMQX's built-in SQL-based rule engine, you can easily filter, extract, enrich, and transform MQTT messages, making their ingestion into Kafka seamless and flexible.
