Abstract: The recent 0.10 release of Kafka introduced a major component to the Kafka ecosystem, Kafka Streams. Kafka Streams is a stream processing library that is tightly integrated with Kafka and is designed to provide simplified stream processing. In this talk I'll give an introduction to Kafka Streams: it's primary API abstractions (KStreams and KTables, as well as the low-level Processor), it's architecture, and how it differs from other stream processing frameworks. The stream processing space has become very crowded. My hope is that this talk will provide perspective on it's intended role in the streaming data space as well as what sets Kafka Streams apart.
