This is default behavior of...

In previous entries I’ve described how we can connect Liferay and Apache Kafka, and I’ve shown a couple of examples of how this integration could be done (you can find the first blog entry  here and the second one here)   At this point, we are able to collect as much information as we need and store it in a reliable and scalable...

I'd like to spend some time to present a portlet that we recently published on the Marketplace: ETL process manager. I'm sure that not everyone knows what an ETL tool is and how poweful this can be when combined with Liferay. ETL stands for "Extract, Transform and Load".
