REST Proxy ingesting data into 3rd party application

Clients REST Proxy
1

Hi there,
the documentation page (Confluent REST APIs | Confluent Documentation) shows some use cases for REST Proxy. One if them would be “Ingesting messages into a stream processing framework that doesn’t yet support Kafka”. Does that mean, there is a way to configure a REST Proxy instance in a way that it consumes messages from Kafka and ingests those into a 3rd party application (that supports REST) all by itself or do have I have to write a client that would consume via REST and then publishes it to my 3rd party application?

Hi @h-koehler-KAIS

REST Proxy provides the possibility to consume and produce messages to Kafka.
Though to publish to your 3rd party app you need to write some code
