Export from Yandex Cloud to Kafka

CloudQuery is an open-source data integration platform that allows you to export data from any source to any destination.

The CloudQuery Yandex Cloud plugin allows you to sync data from Yandex Cloud to any destination, including Kafka. It's free, open source, requires no account, and takes only minutes to get started.

Ready? Let's dive right in!

Step 1. Install the CloudQuery CLI

The CloudQuery CLI is a command-line tool that runs the sync. It supports MacOS, Linux and Windows.

brew install cloudquery/tap/cloudquery

Step 2. Configure the Yandex Cloud source plugin

Create a configuration file for the Yandex Cloud plugin and set up authentication.

Yandex Cloud is a partner plugin, which means that it is maintained by the Yandex Cloud team. Create a file called yandexcloud.yaml, then copy the example and follow the instructions in the Yandex Cloud Plugin Documentation ↗ to fit your needs.

Step 3. Configure the Kafka destination plugin

Create a configuration file for the Kafka plugin and set up authentication.

Configuration

Create a file called kafka.yaml and add the following contents:

This example configures connects to a Kafka destination with no authentication and pushes messages in JSON format. Note that the plugin only supports append write-mode.

The (top level) spec section is described in the Destination Spec Reference.

kind: destination
spec:
  name: "kafka"
  path: "cloudquery/kafka"
  version: "v3.0.1"
  write_mode: "append" # only supports 'append'

  spec:
    brokers: ["<broker-host>:<broker-port>"]
    format: "json"

Fine-tune this configuration to match your needs. For more information, see the Kafka Plugin ↗ page in the docs.

Step 4. Start the Sync

Run the following command in your terminal to start the sync

cloudquery sync yandexcloud.yaml kafka.yaml

And away we go! 🚀 The sync will run until completion, fetching all selected tables from Yandex Cloud. Any errors will be logged to a file called cloudquery.log.
