Deploying Self-Managed Connectors on EKS Fargate

The summary of the text is as follows: Building RAG-enabled GenAI with Confluent, Flink & MongoDB involves considering data in and out of Apache Kafka clusters, choosing between developing proprietary or purpose-built connectors or leveraging existing open source connectors. Confluent offers fully managed and self-managed connectors, with the latter requiring customers to actively monitor capacity and automate scaling activities. The blog post explores using AWS EKS Fargate to host Kafka Connect and Confluent connectors with minimal operational overhead, providing a serverless experience for self-managed connectors. It outlines steps to create an EKS cluster on Fargate, deploy the operator pod, generate Kubernetes secrets, deploy the connector pod, and configure the connector. The setup allows for flexibility and scalability in moving data into and out of Kafka clusters, making it easier to get data in motion with Confluent Cloud.
