TOPIC ABSTRACT
Harnessing the power of real-time smart metering data with Apache Kafka Streams
Apache Kafka is an open-source message broker and stream-processing platform, frequently used to support communication between distributed services.
We will start this presentation with a brief look at the most frequent use case where Apache Kafka is used as a publish/subscribe message broker, facilitating asynchronous, event-driven communication between distributed microservices.
Second, we will examine the powerful, highly performant Kafka stream-processing capability. The overview of the Kafka stream-processing will include common uses cases such as trading and sensor data analysis, with a particular focus on electric smart metering data, used by power grid utilities;
During the presentation we will examine and run Kafka stream-processing code responsible for:
- Stateless operations like event filtering, data transformation and enriching data;
- Stateful operations like data aggregation, windowing;
- Querying state stores and finding stateful operation results;
Throughout this presentation, we will address the role of Kafka partitions and the way to scale a system to increase data streaming and processing performance.
