End to end data support from Producer to consumer with the speed data transfer and multi connection without being configured individually. The data avaio can be set as per the requirements and it can have many options like redundency using replicas,

Definitely would recommend use of this for any streaming application user for the low latency and data loss between producer and consumer

Confluent Kafka for big data CDC

It plays major role in B2B data supply to warehouse in real time . The CDC capability along with Avro helps in supporting real time big data cdc changes into warehouse .
