Hi Jonathon,
Kafka Connect is designed to, well, connect things to Kafka.
Kafka Streams is for stream processing using Kafka.
They're rather descriptive and apt names, don't you think? If it helps, we
abbreviate Connect as KC and Streams as KStreams in our organisation.
Kind regards,
Liam Clark
I've been working through product redesign and development with product groups
in our organization.
Has anyone ever tried to explain data flow through Kafka to non-Kafka people
and notice the inconveniently named Kafka product offerings?
Please rename Connect and Streams.
