Kafka solution in IPS?

[Tom S.]

Hi,

I wanted to know if IPS uses any kind of solution such a kafka to listen/react to database changes and trigger events.

Basically, I want to trigger certain actions when particular changes in the DB occur. But it's much cleaner to use a system like kafka to just wait for the changes, rather than have to manually trigger them all over the place in code. Does IPS have such a functionality in place?

Thanks

Not exactly, however

1) You could register MySQL Triggers directly if you wanted.

2) You could create a hook which hooks in at a low level, e.g. to the active record save() method, or even to the database class directly.

It really depends on what you are after.
