Amazon MSK Web Streaming

Available in Zilla

The Zilla Plus for Amazon MSK Web Streaming proxy lets Web clients publish, update, and stream messages to a Kafka topic in your Amazon MSK cluster.

By automating the configuration of a network load balancer and auto-scaling group of stateless Web Streaming proxies to expose a topic in your MSK cluster, Web clients can natively interact with messages on the topic. Event streaming backend systems can quickly integrate user-facing web clients using customizable REST and SSE APIs.

You will need to choose a wildcard DNS pattern to use for public internet access to the Web Streaming proxies. These wildcard DNS names must resolve to the public IP address(es) where the Zilla proxy is deployed. The Zilla proxy must also be configured with a TLS server certificate representing the same wildcard DNS pattern.

Deployment with Terraform

Follow the Web Streaming with Terraform guide to generated or deploy a custom Terraform template using CDKTF. This Terraform script can be configured to expose a custom REST path and uses SASL/SCRAM authentication.
