I can't find a case of spark or Kafka connecting to InterSystems Iris on the Internet. Are there any related resources can share? InterSystems provides a specialized Spark connector. Documentation. And, of course, you can use a JDBC driver.
As for Kafka here's some examples showing InterSystems IRIS<>Kafka interoperability:

Question
Sharafath Fazil · Mar 10, 2021
React Native or Flutter which is most compatible with InterSystems Hi @Sharafath.Fazil
I never worked with React Native, but I developed something in Flutter a few years ago.
In my humble opinion, it doesn't matter that much since I'm assuming you'll be consuming data using a REST service to interact with flutter/react-native applications.
It's up to you :)
Maybe taking into consideration the pros and cons of each one of them.
Hope that helps. I think the same, Flutter is easier to develop in my opinion, but it's just personal taste. I am not sure what your requirements are but a 3rd option is to use Ionic (Ionic - Cross-Platform Mobile App Development (ionicframework.com)) and stick with any existing nodeJs knowledge and integration you have.

But in the contest posting I see this (my highlighting):
The way I read it, we participants should not be changing our entries during voting week. @Evgeny.Shvarov what do you say? Hi John!
Not exactly. For some reason, we don't mention here that we allow editing and improvements during the voting week too. @Anastasia.Dyubaylo, don't you know why? ALL the previous contests had this option and all the contestants used it this week for improvements, bug-fixing, and advertising.
@Anastasia.Dyubaylo, could you please add that everyone is able to improve applications during the voting week too? In all contests, developers were able to improve their applications throughout the entire registration and voting period.
And from the announcement above:
So, we need to fix the main announcement. Thanks, @John.Murray! ;) Here are the results after 2 days of voting:
