Connect Azure SQL and
Kafka with AI

Stream database changes from Azure SQL to Kafka in real time without building custom change data capture pipelines or maintaining brittle connector infrastructure. Redbird AI automates the flow between your operational database and event streaming platform so your team can focus on building event-driven systems, not plumbing.

What you can automate today

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

Stream transactional database changes to Kafka topics in real time

Automatically capture inserts, updates, and deletes from Azure SQL tables and publish them as events to Kafka topics. Enable downstream consumers to react to database changes instantly without polling or impacting production query performance.

Build event-driven architectures from Azure SQL operational data

Transform row-level changes in Azure SQL into domain events published to Kafka. Power microservices, real-time analytics, and audit trails without coupling services directly to your database schema.

Replicate Azure SQL datasets to Kafka for distributed processing

Push complete table snapshots or incremental changes from Azure SQL to Kafka topics for consumption by stream processing frameworks. Enable real-time analytics on operational data without adding load to production databases.

Sink Kafka event streams into Azure SQL for persistence and querying

Consume events from Kafka topics and persist them in Azure SQL tables with proper schema mapping and transaction handling. Enable SQL-based reporting and analysis on streaming data without writing custom consumer logic.

Materialize Kafka stream aggregations back to Azure SQL views

Process high-volume event streams in Kafka and write computed results to Azure SQL tables for operational dashboards and applications. Bridge real-time processing with traditional SQL-based reporting workflows.

Archive Kafka topic data to Azure SQL for compliance and audit

Automatically persist critical events from Kafka topics into structured Azure SQL tables for long-term retention, compliance, and audit requirements. Maintain queryable historical records while keeping Kafka topics lean.

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 SQL 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 understands both Azure SQL schemas and Kafka topic structures, automatically handling serialization, partitioning, and change data capture patterns without manual connector configuration.

AI that understands relational schemas and event streams

Redbird maps Azure SQL column types, foreign keys, and constraints to appropriate Kafka serialization formats (Avro, JSON, Protobuf). It automatically detects primary keys for idempotent event publishing, handles schema evolution between SQL DDL changes and Kafka Schema Registry, and manages transactional boundaries for exactly-once semantics. No need to manually configure Debezium, write custom serializers, or maintain offset tracking logic.

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Azure SQL 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 SQL 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 SQL into Kafka, or from Kafka back into Azure SQL. 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 from any database event in Azure SQL or any message pattern in Kafka to build real-time data flows across your stack.
