DRIVEN BY DATA

Data Access Turned Inside Out

Today, your data is locked up in systems that don't talk to each other. You want a single, real time source of truth about your business that reaches the very end points of your organization: a central nervous system that enables you to react as events arrive, turning inaccessible systems inside out.

STORE, PROCESS, PUBLISH + SUBSCRIBE

The Streaming Platform

A streaming platform combines the data distribution strength of a publish-subscribe model with a storage layer and a processing layer. This makes it much easier to create data pipelines and connect them to all of your systems.

Built for Developers

Your Platform for Real-time Streaming Apps and Pipelines

Modern applications rely on real-time data to personalize experiences, recognize fraudulent behavior, or deliver dashboards. As a consumer, it’s great; as a developer, it’s revolutionary. A streaming platform provides a single massively-scalable solution for building real-time applications and delivering data wherever you need it, reliably, in real-time.

                      #You can use Kafka’s Streams API or KSQL to easily process 
#our stream without any additional clusters to do some powerful 
#things - like get a top 5 chart of songs played. We’ll start by 
#joining a stream of songs that are played with an ID(playEvents) 
#and enriching that with songTable to get their name

final KStream songPlays =
  playEvents.leftJoin(songTable,(value1, song) -> song, 
  Serdes.Long(), playEventSerde);

#Next, we create a state store, ‘songPlayCounts’ to track song play counts

final KTable songPlayCounts =
  songPlays.groupBy((songId, song) -> song, keySongSerde, 
  valueSongSerde) .count(SONG_PLAY_COUNT_STORE);

final TopFiveSerde topFiveSerde = new TopFiveSerde();

#Lastly, we’ll compute the top five charts for each genre. 

#The results of this computation will continuously update

# the state which we can then query

songPlayCounts.groupBy((song, plays) ->
   KeyValue.pair(song.getGenre().toLowerCase(),
   new SongPlayCount(song.getId(), plays)),Serdes.String(),
   songPlayCountSerde)

WHERE STREAM MEETS TABLE

Stream Processing, Made Simple

Your data is rarely in the exact shape you’d like it to be. That’s why we aggregate, filter, and join it with such painstaking care. In a real-time environment, these actions are continuously executed with a streaming engine like KSQL or Kafka’s Streams API. Confluent Platform gives you an end-to-end solution that minimizes complexity – you can build your application, deploy as you like, and start capturing the value of your data with millisecond-latency, strong guarantees and proven reliability.

#for example this elasticsearch sink is an easy to prep

#friendly config file 

#User defined connector instance name.

#The class implementing the connector

#Maximum number of tasks to run for this connector instance
tasks.max = 1

#Then once we’re set, we can run the elasticsearch connector
