by A comparison of different technologies such as Confluent, AIBlockchain, Hyperledger, Ethereum, Ripple, IOTA, and Libra explores when to use Kafka, a Kafka-native blockchain, a dedicated blockchain, or Kafka in conjunction with another blockchain.

Either you connect Kafka to one or more blockchains, or you implement a Kafka-native blockchain: Let's take a look at a few different examples for Kafka in conjunction with blockchain solutions.

High scalability and high volume data processing in real-time for mission-critical deployments is a crucial differentiator of using Kafka compared to "traditional blockchain deployments" like Bitcoin or Ethereum.

Check out the slide deck: Here is the on-demand video recording: As you learned in this post, Kafka is used in various blockchain scenarios; either complementary to integrate with blockchains/distributed ledger technology and the rest of the enterprise, or Kafka-native implementation.
