Hi IA,
I have heard some reports that the release version of streams will only feature Gateway and Kafka Connectors?
Is this true? will there be a AWS SNS or SQS in the short term? i.e. by the end of Q1-25?
It does look like Kafka is the only external service integration that event streams will ship with a source for.
I wouldn't expect AWS connectors/sources by the end of Q1; we'd be lucky to have an 8.3 beta release by then.
I'll check in with somebody a little more familiar with this stuff next week, but I'd expect these event stream sources to be part of the AWS cloud connectors module, which had some work done last year but got put on pause until after 8.3 is released.
What about any tie in with MQTT engine as a source or sink?
Or can we just expect that the solution for that to be the MQTT tag provider and using tag event streams?
Even though I argued we should do MQTT sources and handlers in house I guess it was decided to leave it up to Cirrus Link.
I assume it’s happening, not sure on the timeline.
In the meantime, yes, you could just use a tag source if it’s already being brought into Ignition.
