MongoDB is working on a native and fully supported MongoDB Connector for Apache Kafka, building upon the community-developed Kafka/MongoDB Sink Connector. The new connector will support acting as both a source and sink of data, allowing MongoDB to stream its data into Kafka and also receive data from Kafka. This opens up opportunities for applications to process and analyze their data in decoupled services and microservices. The connector will be released under an open-source Apache License v2.0 and is expected to meet the Gold Verified requirements of Confluent, making it the officially supported way to integrate between Kafka and MongoDB. The development of this connector aims to bring optimized, performant, and powerful integration for users.
