Too Long; Didn't Read
A few months ago, I wrote about <a href="https://hackernoon.com/writing-your-own-sink-connector-for-your-kafka-stack-fa7a7bc201ea" target="_blank">creating your own sink connector</a> after we started using ours. Surprisingly, we replaced it with <a href="https://kafka.apache.org/documentation/#consumerapi" target="_blank">Kafka Consumers</a> last week. I am going to review our experience and try to write the advantages and disadvantages of both technologies in this short article.
