The MongoDB Connector for Apache Kafka is now generally available. It allows users to build robust data pipelines that take advantage of stream processing between datastores, applications, and services in real-time. The connector provides source-side support for publishing existing collection data to Kafka topics, enabling the loading of entire collections into a topic and then publishing changes using MongoDB change streams. This combined with improved handling of deletion, creation, or emptying of collections provides a robust MongoDB source to easily filter and move data between MongoDB and other Kafka sinks. The connector was developed by building on Hans-Peter Grahsl's community-driven Kafka sink connector for MongoDB, which provided solid support as the foundation for this official connector.
