Event Streams for Apache Kafka FAQs
Event Streams for Apache Kafka is a service in the IONOS Cloud that allows you to easily deploy and manage Kafka clusters without worrying about infrastructure setup, configuration, or maintenance. IONOS takes care of all Kafka-related management tasks. The managed service is optimised to deliver high performance for your data pipelines, offering features like bulk data export, scalability, security configurations, and high availability to ensure a seamless experience.
Event Streams refer to capturing and storing data in real time from event sources like databases, sensors, mobile devices, cloud services, and software applications. These streams can then be directed to various target technologies as needed, enabling a constant flow of data and continuous data interpretation, ensuring the right information is available at the right place and time.
Event Streams are applied in a range of scenarios, including:
- Real-time processing of payments and financial transactions (e.g., for stock exchanges, banks, and insurance providers)
- Tracking and monitoring vehicles, fleets, and deliveries in real time (e.g., in logistics and automotive industries)
- Continuous capture and analysis of sensor data from IoT devices or machinery (e.g., in factories and wind farms)
- Capturing and instantly responding to customer interactions and orders (e.g., in retail, hospitality, and mobile applications)
- Monitoring patient status and predicting condition changes (e.g., in hospitals and care facilities)
- Connecting, storing, and sharing data across different departments within an organisation
- Powering data platforms, event-driven architectures, and microservices
