Connect Azure Blob Storage and
Kafka with AI

Redbird AI bridges Azure's cloud object storage with Kafka's event streaming platform. Stop writing custom connectors to move data from blob containers into real-time pipelines, and eliminate manual file polling and transformation scripts.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Stream new blob uploads to Kafka topics in real-time

Automatically detect when files land in Azure Blob Storage containers and publish events to Kafka topics. Redbird monitors blob creation events, extracts metadata, and streams messages to the appropriate topic partitions without custom connector code.

Archive Kafka topic data to Azure Blob Storage hourly

Sink Kafka messages to Azure Blob Storage on a schedule for cost-effective long-term retention. Redbird batches events, organizes them into partitioned blob paths, and handles compression and format conversion automatically.

Trigger data pipeline when CSV files arrive in blob containers

Watch for CSV or JSON files in specific Azure Storage containers and kick off Kafka-based ETL workflows. Redbird parses file metadata, validates schema, and publishes structured events that downstream consumers can process immediately.

Sync Kafka event logs to Azure blob archive partitioned by date

Continuously export Kafka messages to date-partitioned Azure Blob Storage paths for compliance and analytics. Redbird automatically creates folder hierarchies, manages file rotation, and ensures exactly-once delivery semantics.

Enrich blob upload events with metadata before Kafka ingestion

Capture Azure Blob Storage change events, enrich them with file properties, content type, and custom tags, then stream to Kafka. Redbird AI understands blob metadata schemas and maps them to Kafka message headers and payloads intelligently.

Alert on failed blob writes from Kafka sink connectors

Monitor Kafka-to-Blob write operations and trigger notifications when storage errors occur. Redbird tracks delivery status, identifies failures, and can republish messages to dead-letter topics or retry queues automatically.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Azure Blob Storage and Kafka with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands Azure Blob Storage container hierarchies, access tiers, and change feed events alongside Kafka topic partitions, consumer groups, and serialization formats.

AI that speaks both blob storage and event streaming

Redbird's AI natively interprets Azure Blob Storage metadata, container structures, and blob change events alongside Kafka topic schemas, partition strategies, and message formats. It automatically maps blob properties to Kafka headers, handles Avro and JSON serialization, and manages offset commits. When you connect these systems, Redbird understands how to batch blob events for throughput, preserve ordering guarantees, and optimize for both storage costs and streaming latency.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Azure Blob Storage and Kafka simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either Azure Blob Storage or Kafka.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from Azure Blob Storage into Kafka, or from Kafka back into Azure Blob Storage. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from blob upload events in Azure or message arrivals in Kafka—Redbird handles the rest.
