Summary
This post details the implementation of Apache Kafka at the edge using Confluent Platform and AWS Snowball Edge for disconnected environments. It outlines the preparation steps, including deploying the S3 source connector (using AWS Fargate for a serverless experience) and creating a custom AMI for Confluent Platform on Snowball Edge. The deployment process involves ordering a Snowball Edge device with the custom image and field deployment. It also discusses data processing at the edge using ksqlDB and the rotation scheduling for data syncing to the cloud via S3.
