Connect Kafka and
SQL Server with AI

Stop manually extracting Kafka events into SQL Server tables or writing fragile consumer scripts that break with schema changes. Redbird AI connects your event streams to your enterprise database with intelligent automation that adapts to both systems.

What you can automate today

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

Stream Kafka events into SQL Server tables in real-time for transactional processing

Automatically consume messages from Kafka topics and insert them into normalized SQL Server tables with proper data typing and constraints. Redbird handles schema evolution, batching for optimal throughput, and error handling for malformed events. Keep your OLTP systems in sync with real-time event data.

Publish SQL Server database changes to Kafka topics for downstream event processing

Capture INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations from SQL Server tables using change data capture and publish them as events to Kafka topics. Enable event-driven architectures by making your database changes available to microservices, analytics platforms, and monitoring systems. Redbird formats messages with full before/after state for downstream consumers.

Archive high-volume Kafka clickstream data into SQL Server for compliance and auditing

Consume user activity events, transaction logs, and sensor data from Kafka and store them in partitioned SQL Server archive tables with automatic retention policies. Redbird compresses and batches events for storage efficiency while maintaining queryability for compliance reporting and forensic analysis.

Trigger Kafka notifications when SQL Server stored procedures detect anomalies or thresholds

Monitor SQL Server business logic execution and publish alerts to Kafka topics when stored procedures flag exceptions, threshold breaches, or data quality issues. Route critical events to the right consumers based on severity, enabling real-time response across your event-driven ecosystem without polling databases.

Enrich Kafka IoT sensor streams with SQL Server reference data before loading

Join incoming device telemetry and sensor events from Kafka with product catalogs, asset hierarchies, and configuration tables in SQL Server before persisting. Redbird performs efficient lookups against dimension tables to add contextual attributes, then writes fully enriched records back to SQL Server fact tables for analytics.

Sync SQL Server ERP transaction tables to Kafka for real-time analytics dashboards

Publish order entries, inventory movements, and financial transactions from SQL Server OLTP systems to Kafka streams that feed real-time dashboards and monitoring tools. Redbird incrementally captures new and changed records, maintaining event order and transactional consistency while enabling sub-second latency for operational analytics.

Live in four steps

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

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Kafka and SQL Server 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 both Kafka message schemas and SQL Server table structures, automatically mapping between event payloads and relational columns without manual configuration.

AI that speaks both streaming events and relational schemas

Redbird's AI reads your Kafka topic schemas (Avro, JSON, Protobuf) and SQL Server table definitions to intelligently map fields, handle type conversions, and manage schema evolution. It recognizes surrogate keys, foreign key relationships, and computed columns in SQL Server while understanding partition keys, message timestamps, and nested structures in Kafka. When schemas change on either side, Redbird adapts mappings automatically and alerts you to breaking changes. The platform optimizes batch sizes for SQL Server bulk inserts while respecting Kafka consumer group semantics and offset management.

10×

faster than building custom Kafka consumers with JDBC connectors

No JVM tuning, no Kafka Connect cluster setup, no custom deserialization code

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Kafka and SQL Server 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 Kafka or SQL Server.

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 Kafka into SQL Server, or from SQL Server back into Kafka. 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 workflows from any Kafka topic event or SQL Server database change and orchestrate actions across both systems.

Kafka

New message in topic

Trigger when a new event is published to a specified Kafka topic or topic pattern.

Trigger

Message with specific key arrives

Monitor for messages matching a particular partition key or key pattern in a topic.

Action

Publish message to topic

Send a new event to a Kafka topic with specified key, value, headers, and partition.

Action

Create topic with configuration

Provision a new Kafka topic with specified partition count, replication factor, and retention policies.

Action
