When communication is performed based on a topic, you can use the rule engine to process the data in the topic and then forward it to other Tencent Cloud services or your business backend services. You don't need to purchase a server or deploy a distributed architecture; instead, you can implement full-stack services for message acquisition, computing, and storage simply by configuring the rule engine in the console. The following forwarding types are supported:
Data forwarding to another topic
Data forwarding to a third-party service
Data forwarding to CKafka
Data forwarding to a CMQ topic
Data forwarding to a CMQ queue
Data forwarding to CTSDB
Data forwarding to TencentDB for MySQL
Data forwarding to TencentDB for MongoDB
