Apache Kafka is a de facto standard streaming data processing platform, being widely deployed as a messaging system, and having a robust data integration framework (Kafka Connect) and stream processing API (Kafka Streams) to meet the needs that common attend real-time message processing. But there’s more! Kafka 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. 

In this workshop, you’ll get a thorough introduction to Apache Kafka, learn to understand what sort of architectures it supports, and most importantly, use the exciting new KSQL language to write real-time stream processing applications.
