I had a workshop at Kafka Meetup Tel Aviv in May 2018: “KSQL Deep Dive – The Open Source Streaming SQL Engine for Apache Kafka“.
Here are the agenda, slides and video recording.
KSQL – The Open Source Streaming SQL Engine for Apache Kafka
KSQL is the open-source, Apache 2.0 licensed streaming SQL engine on top of Apache Kafka which aims to simplify all this and make stream processing available to everyone. Even though it is simple to use, KSQL is built for mission-critical and scalable production deployments (using Kafka Streams under the hood).
Benefits of using KSQL include No coding required; no additional analytics cluster needed; streams and tables as first-class constructs; access to the rich Kafka ecosystem. This session introduces the concepts and architecture of KSQL. Use cases such as Streaming ETL, Real-Time Stream Monitoring or Anomaly Detection are discussed. A live demo shows how to setup and use KSQL quickly and easily on top of your Kafka ecosystem.
If you want to get started, try out the KSQL quick start guide. It get’s you started in 10min locally on your laptop or alternatively in a Docker environment.

Video Recording
There was a Youtube live stream. Unfortunately, we had some technical problems. So the audio of the first half is not really good. Sorry for that. I still want to share it. The second half has good sounds quality:
Looking forward to get your feedback. Also please feel free to ask questions in the Confluent Slack community (where you can also get help from the engineers of KSQL) or create Github tickets if you have problems or contributions to this great open source project.
