For example, a connector to a relational database might capture every change to a table. With these APIs, Kafka can be used for two broad classes of application: ** Building real-time streaming data pipelines that reliably get data between systems or applications. ** Building real-time streaming applications that transform or react to the streams of data. Apache Kafka is in use at large and small companies worldwide, including Capital One, Goldman Sachs, ING, LinkedIn, Netflix, Pinterest, Rabobank, Target, The New York Times, Uber, Yelp, and Zalando, among others.
