Why choose Apache Kafka?
Apache Kafka offers real-time data and event processing for any application. Kafka scales quickly and provides true record-at-a-time processing capabilities in near real time.
Speed
Kafka can process streams of data with millisecond latency, processing enormous amounts of data every hour.
Real-time processing
Millisecond latency allows for near real-time processing, increasing efficiency and the overall user experience.
Integration capabilities
With rich and well supported ecosystem around it, Kafka can seamlessly integrate into a wide variety of enterprise systems.

DIGITALIS KAFKA USE CASES
FAST DATA AND ROUTING
Making system of record data available for mobile and web consumers in real-time is becoming the digital standard in banking systems, such as mobile banking and Open Banking API. Kafka is the perfect tool for routing data from systems of record to a fast, multi data centres / regions and highly available operational data store such as Cassandra with no delay. Digitalis supports enterprises in adopting Kafka to implement a fast data layer, facilitating ever increasing data demands.
SIEM AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Enterprises generate an enormous volume of security logs and events every day. Kafka, ksqlDB, and Kafka Connect enable complex transformation, filtering, and routing operations to be set up quickly. A rich ecosystem of Kafka Connect plugins enable connecting multiple enterprises systems to this Kafka based SIEM solution. Digitalis experts can help enterprises implement a Kafka based SIEM solution for regulatory compliance.
IOT
Aircrafts and jet engines, vehicles, farming, smart cities, retail outlets, connected homes, logistics, utilities, factories – all generate unprecedented volumes of telemetry data that have to be captured for processing and analysis. Kafka provides a highly available data streaming platform that is able to easily absorb data during high peak periods, protecting other parts of the IoT platform. Digitalis helps IoT companies implement Kafka to enable real-time streaming and analytics systems.
MESSAGING
Many messaging systems are now heavily dependent on Kafka, from banking payment solutions, micro services communications, telecoms, to social media messages. The message volumes are only increasing by the day and Kafka provides future proof scalable data platform that can scale with the user demand. Digitalis has experience with messaging solutions using Kafka across many sectors including banking, social media, and many other industry sectors.
FRAUD DETECTION
Complexity of digital crime is only increasing with the industry digital transformation trend, and it devastates individual victims of fraud as well as causing huge financial impact to the enterprises. Kafka event bus can facilitate streaming of huge volumes of user and business events with fraud detection logic running on ksqlDB to be consuming and processing the data at scale in real-time. Digitalis experts works with our customers to implement solutions using the Kafka stack.

Apache Kafka vs Apache Pulsar
This blog describes some of the main differences between Apache Kafka and Pulsar – two of the leading data streaming Apache projects.
Digitalis team has been invaluable to our data and cloud platform operations. They have been instrumental in introducing new technologies to cope with ever increasing demand for data coming from our users at Vero.
Vero is a social media platform with multi-million concurrent users generating and consuming high volumes of data in real-time. Digitalis successfully implemented and operationalised our Kafka infrastructure where the user data is transformed, routed and pushed to a number of downstream systems including Cassandra and Elasticsearch.
The Digitalis team architected and leveraged the latest technologies to meet our needs. This includes technologies such as Kubernetes, Kafka, ksqlDB and Kafka Connect to handle millions of messages per day.
Security is paramount to the data we process and store, and the Digitalis team has diligently implemented processes and configurations that allow us to be highly confident with maintaining security for our users.
Digitalis looks after all of our data and streaming platforms on a 24×7 basis leaving us to be confident with the stability, availability and scalability of the services that we provide to our users.
