Great video - we're going through some of these exact use-cases right now.

To push data from backend to Salesforce using Kafka. When would you use Events, vs Sobject connector vs Kafka REST invoked patterns? Any thoughts welcome

[@BigCompass]

Hello Sairyo!
It depends on the nature of the backend system and the nature of transaction expected. For REST based backend application, Kafka REST would be preferable as it will be of Synchronous in nature, and if the backend system expects a return type this can work. For backend application that is already kafka enabled, it makes sense to publish as a message in a kafka topic (There can be sink connectors configured on this kafka topic to injest data into salesforce), this will be asynchronous in nature with no return type and much efficient to load data with data burst or high velocity data in nature.
Hope this helps!
