Summary

The Apache Kafka Connect Sink plugin is designed to handle the delivery of specific topic data from a Kafka instance to a YugabyteDB instance. YugabyteDB is a high-performance, distributed SQL database that supports most of PostgreSQL's functionality and is wire-protocol compatible with PostgreSQL drivers. The integration allows for simple data abstraction, flexible and scalable interactions between multiple topics and instances, and re-use customization for individual customer use cases. To get started, users can follow the provided quick start guide, prepare their environment, download the connector, configure it, and test its functionality in a distributed environment.
