Workshop: Apache Kafka and ksqlDB in Action: Let's Build a Streaming Data Pipeline!

Location: Westminster, 4th flr.

Duration: 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Day of week: Thursday

Level: Intermediate

Prerequisites

 
  • Participants must have their own laptop
  • Participants can either 
  1. use a provided cloud environment but MUST have a SSH client. 
    or
  2. run the full environment locally (Mac/Linux only)
    Please complete the 'prerequisites' section at https://rmoff.dev/qcon01 PRIOR to the workshop (the conference wifi won't cope with trying to do it on the day!)
  • Knowledge of SQL is assumed.
    Participants will benefit from existing knowledge of the concepts of Kafka (topics, streaming, etc).
Any questions, please get in touch with me, either robin@confluent.io or @rmoff on http://cnfl.io/slack

More talks on:

Have you ever thought that you needed to be a programmer to do stream processing and build streaming 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 RDBMS, NoSQL, and object stores is simple with Kafka Connect, which is part of Apache Kafka. ksqlDB is a SQL streaming engine for Apache Kafka, and makes it possible to build stream processing applications at scale, written using a familiar SQL interface.

In this workshop you will learn the architectural reasoning for Apache Kafka and the benefits of real-time integration, and then build a streaming data pipeline using nothing but your bare hands, Kafka Connect, and KSQL.

Gasp as we filter events in real time! Be amazed at how we can enrich streams of data with data from RDBMS! Be astonished at the power of streaming aggregates for anomaly detection!

Key Takeaways

  • An introduction to the Apache Kafka ecosystem
  • Key streaming concepts and design patterns
  • Integrating systems with Kafka using Kafka Connect
  • Exploring data with ksqlDB
  • Using ksqlDB to filter, join, and aggregate data in Kafka
  • Querying state from ksqlDB
