Choosing Kafka for Real Time Dashboard Application

[Matan Givo <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

My name is Matan Givoni and I am a team leader in a small startup company.

We are starting a development on a cloud based solution for multimedia and telemetry streaming applications and we aren’t sure if Kafka is the right tool for our use case.

We need to create a client side application that will create multiple real time data streams that eventually will be displayed using gauges on the screen.

In our use case we are will have:
• Binary message format
• 1KB size messages
• Every message is produced every 20ms
• Around 40 – 50 data producers
• Around 100 of web clients
• Each message need to be received on each client

Does Kafka is the right tool for this kind of tasks?

Best Regards,
Matan,

Its good tool for your requirement.
Probably you need to look at kafka conncet/ Kafka streams APIs.



Thank you,
