How Materialize Integrates with Kafka
Apache Kafka
The industry-standard open-source message broker, used for data integration between decoupled systems.
Materialize
Materialize is a fast, distributed, SQL database built on streaming internals.
Stream data from Kafka to Materialize
Materialize securely connects to your cluster, continuously consumes messages with high throughput and subsecond latency.
Transform data with SQL
Write the same complex SQL you use in a warehouse to join, aggregate and run computations. Materialize continuously updates results.
Sink results to Kafka, or serve via SQL
Stream changes to results back out to Kafka as individual messages, or query Materialize with any PostgreSQL driver or compatible tool.
