    • Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect

    Salesforce source connector for Aiven for Apache Kafka Connect® (early availability)

    The Salesforce source connector is available for Aiven for Apache Kafka® Connect. It retrieves data from Salesforce using SOQL queries and writes it to Apache Kafka® topics using Salesforce Bulk API 2.0. The connector runs on a polling schedule and tracks progress using the LastModifiedDate field.

    Supported functionality

    • Retrieve data in batches using incremental sync with LastModifiedDate
    • Run multiple SOQL queries
    • Route records to topics using topic.prefix (per object) or topic (single topic)

    Limitations

    • Single task only (tasks.max=1)
    • Polling-based ingestion; no real-time streaming
    • At-least-once delivery; duplicate records can occur

    For configuration and usage details, see the Salesforce source connector documentation.

    Announcing Aiven Apps in limited availability

    You can now deploy and run containerized applications directly within your existing Aiven project infrastructure. Aiven Apps lets you host your apps where your data is, reducing complexity, latency, and egress costs. Deploy apps directly from your Git repositories using familiar tools to decrease time-to-production. Aiven automatically handles the underlying networking and container orchestration, enabling developers to focus on application logic rather than DevOps overhead.

    It's ideal for filtering data streams in real time, building anomaly detection, creating admin dashboards, running LLMs and AI agents securely, or shipping other internal tools in a secure and scalable way.

    Aiven Apps is currently in limited availability. To request access, contact Aiven. For more information, see the Aiven Apps documentation.
