How to integrate Kafka in SAS Viya 4

Jovian — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 09:01:05 GMT

Hi Everyone,

Is it possible to connect SAS Viya4 with Kafka. If so could you link to the guide or any blogs/git that I can reference.

As per my understanding, SAS ESP is required. Do I need SAS Standalone ESP or can I just use the SAS ESP with default configs with increased no of server pods.

Any guide links for this will be greatly appreciated..

My Kafka is running with KRaft instead of Zookeeper. Will this be a hinderance.

For reference in am view this blog. https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/espcdc/v_065/espca/p0sbfix2ql9xpln1l1x4t9017aql.htm
