Push Real-Time Data to the Web with the Kafka Connect HTTP Sink

What this post added

This post details building an end-to-end event-driven alerting system by using the Kafka Connect HTTP Sink Connector to push real-time data from Kafka to web services, which then forward it as Server-Sent Events (SSE) to an HTML5 client. It covers setting up Confluent Platform locally, configuring the HTTP Sink Connector, and developing a Node.js service to receive data and broadcast it via SSE.
