I need to stream incoming sensor data from Mqtt broker to Kafka broker. What are the most efficient tools to do this ?
There are lots of brokers and some of them provide almost the same features.
Is there any broker that provides Kafka bridge plugin in an efficient way ?
As alternative to Kafka Connect and a MQTT connector, you could also use the Confluent MQTT Proxy for this. If your only reason to have a MQTT Broker, then this is the much easier and more lightweight setup because you do not need a MQTT Broker this way. MQTT Proxy works the same way like Kafka' REST Proxy.
See this example of how to combine MQTT with Apache Kafka. Or go directly to the Github code: "Deep Learning UDF for KSQL for Streaming Anomaly Detection of MQTT IoT Sensor Data".
