Kafka® Connect and Elasticsearch™ vs. PostgreSQL® Pipelines: Final Performance Results (Pipeline Series Part 9)
In Part 6 and Part 7 of the pipeline series we took a different path in the pipe/tunnel and explored PostgreSQL and Apache Superset, mainly from a functional perspective—how can you get JSON data into PostgreSQL from Kafka Connect, and what does it look like in Superset. In Part 8, we ran some initial load tests and found out how the capacity of the original Elasticsearch pipeline compared with the PostgreSQL variant. These results were surprising (PostgreSQL 41,000 inserts/s vs. Elasticsearch 1,800 inserts/s), so in true “MythBusters” style we had another attempt to make them more comparable.
