Kafka Streams 101: Getting Started (2023)


Summary

This video provides an insightful overview of Apache Kafka as an event streaming platform, emphasizing its distributed and fault-tolerant nature. The concept of the Log within each Broker is explained as a special type of file that holds immutable records, ensuring fault tolerance and data replication across nodes. It covers the importance of topics in Kafka, showing how they manifest as logs related logically, and how data is ingested using Producers with retention times, topics, and offsets. Additionally, it introduces Kafka Streams for stream processing applications, showcasing its simplicity and efficiency compared to the Plain Producer and Consumer API. The video concludes with a guide on deploying Kafka Streams applications, making it easier to work with data records and automate stream processing tasks.


Introduction to Kafka Streams

Overview of Apache Kafka as an event streaming platform, its distributed and fault-tolerant nature, and the concept of the Log at the heart of each Broker.

Log in Kafka

Explanation of the Log in Kafka, a special type of file that holds immutable records or events, ensuring fault tolerance and data replication across storage nodes.

Topic in Kafka

Understanding topics in Kafka as manifestations of logs that relate to each other logically, with each topic having a name and corresponding directory names.

Getting Data into Kafka

Explanation of how data is ingested into Kafka using Producers, including setting retention times, topics, and offsets for data consumption.

Kafka Streams Overview

Introduction to Kafka Streams for stream processing applications, highlighting its simplicity compared to the Plain Producer and Consumer API.

Using Kafka Streams

Demonstration of how Kafka Streams simplifies stream processing tasks by specifying stream types, filtering data, handling errors, and producing output topics.

Kafka Streams Framework

Explanation of Kafka Streams as a framework that automates stream processing tasks, making it easier to work with data records.

Deploying Kafka Streams

Guide on deploying Kafka Streams applications, including building applications into JAR files, deploying them on local or cloud servers, and configuring cluster settings.
