Eleftheria Makrydaki · Answer

The answer to this is Yes ; it is possible to use the JDBC Driver for Apache Kafka to connect to Confluent Kafka. The JDBC driver can be used to connect to a Confluent Kafka instance by configuring the necessary connection properties such as BootstrapServers , RegistryUrl , and RegistryAuthScheme . The driver supports authentication using username and password, and it is important to set the RegistryAuthScheme property to Basic to avoid connection issues.
