Yoda Response: Enhance data ingestion and integration with Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect, we did. Use Kafka for data streaming, we did, particularly Managed Kafka Service (MSK). Stream data from sources to consumers, it helps. Scale our streaming services, it allows.

Receive millions of articles each day, we do. Scale to billions, we aim. Kafka Streams, crucial for this scalability, it is. Kafka Connect, an interface provided by Kafka, helps connect Kafka to various services. Retrieve, post, and ingest data, it does.

However, custom consumers and producers, we created. Directly using Kafka Connect, we did not. Custom Kafka Connect, we implemented, providing flexibility to change connections and configurations.

Thus, by using Kafka Streams for scalability and custom Kafka Connect for flexibility, enhance data ingestion and integration, we did.
