Own Kafka topics

Own Kafka topics can be configured to have the possibility to use the Kafka functionality without running an own Kafka instance.
These own Kafka topics are not related to NEXT provided Kafka topics for Core Dispatcher functionality or Kafka Bridge functionality.

Own Kafka topics can also be configured to be accessible from external applications.

Configuration possibilities

Additional to the configuration possibilities described here, the access to the topics can also be configured.

External API keys

It is possible to have multiple additional API keys for accessing own Kafka topics with external applications.

confluent.sa.[ExternalAccessName].key
confluent.sa.[ExternalAccessName].secret
