Kafka is an open-source distributed event and stream-processing platform built to process demanding real-time data feeds. It is inherently scalable, with high throughput and availability.
The DigitalOcean API
You can use the API to manage clusters, Topics, and users.
The DigitalOcean MCP Server
The DigitalOcean Model Context Protocol (MCP) server lets you use natural language prompts to interact with DigitalOcean Managed Databases to create, resize, configure, migrate, and inspect clusters across all supported engines. All operations use argument-based input, and no resource URIs are used. The tools also support pagination, configuration management, firewall updates, user management, topic operations for Kafka, and other engine-specific settings where applicable.
