A communication solutions agency, Kafka is a cloud-based / on-prem distributed system offering social media services, public relations, and events. For event streaming, three main functionalities are available: the ability to (1) subscribe to (read) and publish (write) streams of events, (2) store streams of events indefinitely, durably, and reliably, and (3) process streams of events in either real-time or retrospectively. Kafka offers these capabilities in a secure, highly scalable, and elastic manner.

1. First, you need to have an Apache Kafka destination connector installed on your system. If you don't have it, you can download it from the Apache Kafka website.
2. Once you have the Apache Kafka destination connector installed, you need to create a new connection in Airbyte. To do this, go to the Connections tab and click on the "New Connection" button. 3. In the "New Connection" window, select "Apache Kafka" as the destination connector and enter the required connection details, such as the Kafka broker URL, topic name, and authentication credentials.
4. After entering the connection details, click on the "Test Connection" button to ensure that the connection is working properly.
5. If the connection test is successful, click on the "Save" button to save the connection.
6. Once the connection is saved, you can create a new pipeline in Airbyte and select the Apache Kafka destination connector as the destination for your data.
7. In the pipeline configuration, select the connection you created in step 3 as the destination connection.
8. Configure the pipeline to map the source data to the appropriate Kafka topic and fields.
9. Once the pipeline is configured, you can run it to start sending data to your Apache Kafka destination.
