wait ... did you just recommend I pick up and thumb drive from a stranger in a parking lot containing a Kafka Connector, run it in production and "it will probably be fine" ?! :cry-laughing-emoji: Like I appreciate that I'm maybe a little loopy for listening to what is now multiple hours of kafka content, but thank you for injecting a tiny bit of dry humour into this content.
"Someone could hand you a thumbdrive in a parking lot, that had a connector on it, and you could build it and run it. And I am sure that would be fine" The way Tim says this with a straight face 🤣

First if all, you may need to find out how to interface with or if there is out there some ready-made connector available. Suppose you can interface doing polling http request, you may use a http source connector like this castorm.github.io/kafka-connect-http/
