Amazon MSK Web Streaming
Amazon MSK Web Streaming
The Zilla Plus for Amazon MSK Web Streaming proxy lets Web clients publish, update, and stream messages to a Kafka topic in your Amazon MSK cluster.
By automating the configuration of a network load balancer and auto-scaling group of stateless Web Streaming proxies to expose a topic in your MSK cluster, Web clients can natively interact with messages on the topic. Event streaming backend systems can quickly integrate user-facing web clients using customizable REST and SSE APIs.
You will need to choose a wildcard DNS pattern to use for public internet access to the Web Streaming proxies. These wildcard DNS names must resolve to the public IP address(es) where the Zilla proxy is deployed. The Zilla proxy must also be configured with a TLS server certificate representing the same wildcard DNS pattern.
Key Features
- Enable web clients to publish, update, and stream Kafka messages via customizable REST and SSE APIs.
- No configuration changes required to your MSK cluster to enable seamless web access.
- Zilla supports Auto-Scaling and are deployed behind a Network Load Balancer for optimal performance.
