Bytewax connector details
The Bytewax materialization connector in Estuary streams data from Estuary collections to Bytewax as Kafka-compatible messages using Dekaf. Bytewax can consume these streams in real time for Python-based dataflows, transformations, analytics, and other low-latency processing workloads.
- Kafka-compatible streaming from Estuary collections to Bytewax
- Real-time data delivery for Bytewax dataflow applications
- No separate Kafka broker required — Bytewax connects directly to Estuary’s Dekaf endpoint
- One or more Estuary collections can be exposed as Kafka-compatible topics
- Configurable topic names for individual collection bindings
- Kafka or CDC deletion modes for controlling how deleted records are represented
- Optional strict Kafka-compatible topic naming
- SASL/SSL authentication using the materialization name and an auth token
Bytewax connects to Estuary using the Dekaf Kafka-compatible endpoint with SASL_SSL and PLAIN authentication. By default, each binding’s topic name corresponds to its Estuary collection, though custom topic names can be configured.
