Neo4j Sink Connector for Confluent Available as Managed Connector on Confluent Cloud

Neo4j has advanced its collaboration with Confluent by launching the Managed Neo4j Sink Connector as a fully managed service on Confluent Cloud's Kafka Connect, eliminating the need for customers to manually upload, create, or manage the connector themselves. Initially introduced as a Custom Connector supported by Neo4j for use in Confluent Cloud in 2023, this new managed service now allows enterprises to securely transfer data between cloud services, supporting private endpoints on Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. Customers can handle support issues directly with Confluent, with Neo4j providing assistance when necessary. The Managed Connector is accessible via the Confluent Marketplace, enabling users to sink data from Kafka Topics to Neo4j Aura databases or utilize Neo4j as a source of messages for Kafka Topics, with the option to use CDC or Cypher queries for detecting changes.
