Redpanda has introduced fully-managed connectors in Redpanda Cloud to simplify the integration of various data systems with real-time clusters, eliminating the need for manual setups using the Kafka API or Kafka Connect. These connectors, available in the Redpanda Console, include new offerings for MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and SQL Server, supporting both source and sink operations, along with an HTTP source connector for importing data from web services. The MongoDB connectors leverage MongoDB's oplog for real-time data changes, while the JDBC connectors facilitate interaction with relational databases, supporting tasks like database synchronization and audit logging. The HTTP source connector allows easy data import from HTTP endpoints, enhancing Redpanda's capability to handle change data capture from JSON/HTTP APIs. By using these connectors, developers can more efficiently build real-time and event-driven applications, benefiting from step-by-step guidance and configuration options within the Redpanda UI to optimize task allocation and performance.
