Title of Talk:
Introduction to Kafka Streams

Abstract:
Kafka has become a de-facto standard for ingesting event-based data and is considered the central nervous system for data in many organizations. Kafka Streams is a lightweight Java framework that works with Kafka allowing users to perform analysis, transformations, and stateful operations on the incoming data.

In this presentation, we'll cover:

1. A quick intro into Kafka 101
2. What is Kafka Streams and how it enables/simplifies event-based processing.
3. Features of Kafka Streams including:
   a. Stateful operations
   b. Interactive Queries

By the end of this presentation, users will gain a basic understanding of Kafka Streams and how they can start using it to implement event streaming applications.
