Apache Kafka is a de facto standard streaming data processing platform that’s widely deployed as a messaging system and has a robust data integration framework (Kafka Connect) and stream processing API (Kafka Streams) to meet the common needs of real-time message processing.
The Kafka ecosystem now offers KSQL, a declarative, SQL-like stream processing language that lets you define powerful stream-processing applications easily. What once took some moderately sophisticated Java code can now be done at the command line with a familiar and eminently approachable syntax.
Tim Berglund details how to produce and consume from a Kafka topic, how to use Kafka Connect to consume data from a relational database, and how to enrich and aggregate streaming data using KSQL. You’ll leave much more of a Kafka user and thinker, ready to explore your first event-driven system as soon as you get home.
