Overview
We provide a Kafka broker instance for different use cases.
If configured, each project deployed on the NEXT platform can access the topics assigned to the project. The access to these topics is limited to the configured clients and is isolated against other applications running on the NEXT platform.
Kafka topic types
Kafka topics are used either for
- MQTT-Kafka-Bridge which is described here
- Core-Dispatcher functionality as a replacement for the webhooks provided by Netilion which is described here
- Application related Kafka topics which can be configured per project running at the NEXT platform with the possibility to share them with external applications are described here
Application Access
The access to the Kafka broker instance from services running in the NEXT environment is described here
Configuration Possibilities
