Tutorials and Examples

Stream Processing Cookbook

The Stream Processing Cookbook contains ksqlDB recipes that provide in-depth tutorials and recommended deployment scenarios.

ksqlDB with Embedded Connect

ksqlDB has native integration with Connect. While ksqlDB can integrate with a separate Kafka Connect cluster, it can also run Connect embedded within the ksqlDB server, making it unnecessary to run a separate Connect cluster. The embedded Connect tutorial shows how you can configure ksqlDB to run Connect in embedded mode.

ksqlDB Examples

These examples provide common ksqlDB usage operations.

You can configure Java streams applications to deserialize and ingest data in multiple ways, including Kafka console producers, JDBC source connectors, and Java client producers. For full code examples,
