Frends offers seamless integration with Avro, enabling you to effortlessly use the Avro serialization system in your processes.

By leveraging Frends' task-based approach, you can configure and customize Avro integrations according to your specific requirements. Frends has tasks for both serializing and deserializing Avro format data.

Use cases

Below you will find examples of typical use cases for Avro and how they could be implemented in Frends.

Deserializing Avro data

By using the HTTP trigger in conjunction with the Deserialize task, we can create an integration that listens for incoming HTTP traffic and deserializes the Avro format data from the request body into JSON.

Serializing Avro data

By using the File trigger with the Serialize task, we can create an integration that watches a local folder for JSON files, and when one appears, its contents are read and serialized into Avro format for further use.
