Connect to the cluster

The Kafka cluster can be connected to by DNS address and IP address.

We recommend connecting by DNS address because DNS addresses correspond to node roles and lead to the actual IP addresses of the master and replicas. IP addresses correspond to specific nodes. If the master is unavailable, one of the replicas will assume its role, the master's IP address will change, and the IP connection will stop working.

If the cluster is connected to a private subnet and you want to work with it via DNS, connect the cluster subnet to a cloud router with access to the external network. Use the following instructions Set up internet access via cloud router.

A public IP address cannot be used.

Ports⁠

Use ports to connect to Kafka:

9092 — port for connection without SSL certificate;
9093 — port for connection with SSL certificate.

Ways of connection⁠

through the kcat terminal client;
from program code with SSL и without SSL.

View the address for connection⁠

В control panels go to Cloud platform → Databases.
Open the Database Cluster page → tab Connection.
In the block Addresses for connection check out the address.

Connect with SSL⁠

Connecting using TLS/SSL encryption provides a secure connection between your server and the database cluster.

<password> — user password;
<topic_name> — TOPIC NAME.

Use the connection example for the producer:

const { Kafka } = require('kafkajs');

const config = {
  brokers: ['<host>:9092'],
  ssl: false,
  sasl: {
    mechanism: 'scram-sha-512',
    username: '<user_name>',
    password: '<password>',
  },
};

const kafka = new Kafka(config);
const producer = kafka.producer();

const run = async () => {
  await producer.connect();
  await producer.send({
    topic: '<topic_name>',
    messages: [{ value: 'message' }],
  });
  await producer.disconnect();
};

run();

Specify:

<host> — DNS address of the node;
<user_name> — database user name;
<password> — user password;
<topic_name> — TOPIC NAME.
