Streaming & Ingestion

NextStream

Real-time streaming into the NextBricks stack.

NextStream is the streaming and change-data ingestion entry point of the platform — JDPA pipelines flow NextStream → NextPipe → NextSearch → NextDB to move events from source systems into search and analytics in real time.

The real-time ingestion front door that captures events and change data and hands them to NextPipe, NextSearch, and NextDB.

Operational workflow

From product surface to measurable outcome.

Each NextBricks product is built as a deployable platform component, not a loose demo. Teams can operate it standalone or wire it into the full Data AI Platform.

Product capabilities

Capability 1

Change-data capture

Capture inserts, updates, and deletes from operational databases and stream them downstream.

Capability 2

Unified pipeline

Flows directly into NextPipe for transformation and into NextSearch and NextDB for serving.

Capability 3

Source connectors

Connect Kafka-compatible streams, databases, and application event sources.

Capability 4

Operational visibility

Active pipeline monitoring across stream health, throughput, and lag.

Capability 5

Kafka-compatible backbone

NextStream provides a Kafka 4.x-compatible protocol surface with optimized topic templates, enterprise schema controls, partition health visibility, and consumer-lag checks.

Capability 6

Replay-ready routes

JDPA billing and audit events can be replayed through NextStream into NextPipe, NextSearch, and NextDB for remediation and reporting.
