Apache Kafka as a Monitoring Data Pipeline

slides:none on file

Shows a working pipeline built with Strimzi on Kubernetes: a 7‑node Kafka cluster receives logs from Fluent Bit → Kafka → Elasticsearch/Kibana, stored in a topic created via the operator. Kafka Connect runs connectors that write batched files to S3 (files closed after 1,000 messages or 5s; example file ~680 KB) and post alerts to Slack. A small Kafka Streams app detects authorization errors, writes alert messages to a topic, and the Slack connector delivers them — the demo proves the flow end‑to‑end.
