+Real-time and Continuous Data
Integration into Apache Kafka®
A Confluent and HVR Solution Brief

Replicate or migrate datafrom relational databasetechnologies with HVR toConfluent Platform to enablemicroservices and capture
data changes in real-time.
HVR technology delivers end-to-end data integration capabilities
to set up and manage real-time, log-based change data captureand data delivery with Kafka and Confluent Platform as a target.
HVR provides the necessary replication capabilities in a single
unified environment with native, high-performance data delivery
and integration with schema registry. HVR supports relational
database technologies including Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL,MySQL, SAP HANA, DB2 LUW (Linux, Unix, Windows) and more.
HVR enables customers to make the most of their existing legacy
data with support for both initial load as well as incremental
change data capture into Kafka and Confluent Platform,continuously in real-time, on premises or in the cloud.

A Confluent and HVR Solution Brief

Leverage legacy data to enable microservices with Kafka and HVR
Organizations are quickly adopting microservice architectures to achieve better customer service and improve user
experience while limiting downtime and data loss. Transitioning from a monolithic architecture based on stateful databases
to truly stateless microservices can be achieved with HVR and Confluent. Convert the data locked in traditional databases
into event streams using HVR’s CDC technology, use Kafka to decouple dependencies from databases, store and broadcast
events thereby enabling microservices creation.

Why HVR for Kafka?
The HVR technology integrates with Kafka and Confluent Platform by using real-time, log-based CDC for continuous datadelivery with Kafka as the target. HVR populates the schema registry in Kafka and supports flexible options to deliver datain JSON, Avro and other formats. HVR simplifies populating Kafka topics with an initial data set, followed by a non-intrusiveand efficient, real-time delivery into Kafka.

Confluent Platform and HVR
Confluent Platform enables organizations to harness business value of event data. The Confluent Platform, based on Kafka,
manages the barrage of event streams and makes it available throughout an organization. It is the only enterprise stream
platform that makes implementing, managing and deploying an enterprise streaming platform with Kafka easy, reliable,
secure and auditable. Together with HVR, data from existing RDBMS and file systems can be replicated and migrated toKafka with HVR, enabling microservices and capturing data changes continuously and in real-time.
