Open-source Salesforce connectors for Kafka Connect

Up front disclosure : I work at OSO and we built this for a large automotive client trying to move off Confluent / IBM!!

We've done the clean-room rebuild of the 4 connectors (source with CDC streaming + Bulk 2.0 backfill, SObject sink, Platform Event sink, and a legacy CometD one for orgs stuck without Pub/Sub API access). We the help of Fable 5 - this is I believe is these models are genuinely game changing for.

Its licensed under Apache-2.0, runs on any Kafka Connect runtime. As far as we can tell it's the only maintained OSS connector using Salesforce's Pub/Sub API (gRPC + Avro) which is the same architecture Confluent's newest connector moved to

We have also created a migration tool - if you're coming off Confluent's Kool-Aid a script that translates your existing config and a verifier that cross-checks what changed in Salesforce against what landed on the topic and spits out an evidence report (missing IDs, dup counts, checksums)
