New App: Apache Kafka 

Users of DeiC Interactive HPC – UCloud can now access Apache Kafka, a high-performance event streaming platform designed for managing real-time data at scale. 

Kafka deployments on UCloud support multi-node configurations, enabling production-grade distributed logging, stream processing, data integration, and publish/subscribe messaging systems. 

Students and researchers can use Apache Kafka to collect, process, and analyse large volumes of real-time data – for example, streaming data from lab sensors, social media, or web clickstreams. It’s especially useful for building data pipelines in projects involving machine learning, IoT, or real-time analytics, enabling reproducible and scalable research workflows. 

For more details on the Apache Kafka application, visit UCloud docs for the full documentation.
