Getting Started with Event Streams

Boomi Event Streams is a fully managed, cloud-native event streaming service that enables real-time data movement across systems, applications, and services. Built on Apache Kafka and seamlessly integrated with the Boomi AtomSphere Platform, it allows organizations to adopt event-driven architecture (EDA) and unlock the benefits of real-time responsiveness, scalability, and decoupled system communication.

The Event Streams multi-tenant enterprise message queueing and streaming service is hosted in 4 regions; US-EAST, ANZ(Sydney), DEU(Germany), and GBR (United Kingdom).

Boomi Event Streams: Overview

Event Streams supports common enterprise messaging patterns like Publish-Subscribe (pub/sub) and queuing with guaranteed message delivery, ordering, and availability. When used in combination with Boomi Integration, it provides a highly scalable and reliable backbone for an “event driven integration” approach to building integrations.

Key Capabilities

  • Real-Time Event Streaming: Instantly publish and subscribe to business-critical events as they happen.

  • Kafka as a Service: Offers the power of Apache Kafka without the complexity of managing infrastructure.

  • Seamless Boomi Integration: Native support for integration with Boomi processes, connectors, and environments.

  • Replay & Durability: Supports event replay, message retention, and durability to ensure data resilience and recoverability.

  • Scalable & Secure: Enterprise-grade scalability with built-in security, access control, and governance tools.

Why Use Boomi Event Streams

  • Enable Real-Time Business Processes: Trigger workflows the moment an event occurs—like a customer purchase or sensor alert.

  • Decouple Applications: Reduce system interdependencies by using pub/sub patterns, increasing agility and maintainability.

  • Simplify Integration: Avoid complex point-to-point setups; connect producers and consumers flexibly via topics.

  • Drive Digital Innovation: Ideal for use cases like IoT, fraud detection, dynamic supply chains, and customer engagement platforms.

Hierarchy

The Event Streams system functions in a hierarchy organized in the following tiers:

  • Account- The administrative units that provide the ability to isolate environments, specify quotas, and configure authentication and authorization on a per customer basis.

  • Environments - Groups of related topics. Event Streams creates these automatically based on your existing Runtime Environments.

  • Topics - Named channels used to transmit messages from producers to consumers.

  • Subscriptions - Determine the delivery pattern used to send messages to consumers.

  • Consumers - Subscribe to one or more topics to consume and acknowledge messages.

Before you can begin sending messages, you must create Topics and Subscriptions for your environment.
