Stream processing via Kafka using Android

lido.flink
Hi folks,

has someone tried out to use Android Apps as a “Producing client” for Kafka?
Let's say my Android App produces some messages to be put in a Flink DataStream.

The alternative is having an app server of some kind as an intermediary that accepts messages from the android app and posts them to Kafka, rather than having the app be a Kafka Producer on its own.

Any expiriences or ideas?

Best Regards,
Artur

Hi Artur,

I'm not sure if Flink is the best tool to write data from Android Apps to
Kafka.
Flink would be a good choice to process such data by reading it from Kafka.

I would reach out to the Kafka user list and seek for advice there.

Best, Fabian

Btw. The Apache dev@ mailing lists are meant to discuss the development of
the projects. The user@ lists are for user questions. Thanks
