Real-time SQL Stream Processing at Scale with Apache Kafka and KSQL

Viktor Gamov Viktor Gamov | Developer Advocate | Confluent

If you’ve ever thought you needed to be a programmer to do stream processing and build stream processing data pipelines, think again. Apache Kafka is a distributed, scalable, and fault-tolerant streaming platform, providing low-latency pub/sub messaging coupled with native storage and stream processing capabilities. Integrating Kafka with a relational database management system (RDBMS), NoSQL, and object stores is simple with Kafka Connect, which is part of Apache Kafka. KSQL is the open-source SQL streaming engine for Apache Kafka and makes it possible to build stream processing applications at scale, written using a familiar SQL interface.

Viktor Gamov walks you through the architectural reasoning for Apache Kafka and the benefits of real-time integration. You’ll build a streaming data pipeline using nothing but your bare hands, Kafka Connect, and KSQL.
