In today’s IoT landscape, the integration of MQTT and Kafka offers immense value across various use cases. Whether it’s Connected Cars and Telematics, Smart City Infrastructure, Industrial IoT Monitoring, or Logistics Management, the combination of MQTT and Kafka enables seamless, efficient, and real-time data processing.

This article will provide a demo to illustrate how MQTT and Kafka can be integrated. We will simulate vehicle devices and their dynamic Telematics data, connect them to an MQTT Broker, and then send the data to Apache Kafka. We have selected EMQX as the MQTT Broker because it comes with a built-in Kafka data integration that simplifies the process.
