Deploying Kafka Streams and KSQL with Gradle – Part 2: Managing KSQL Implementations

In this webinar series, Red Pill Analytics presents an overview of their work with BMW Group on developing an omnichannel transformation using data streaming. The first part discussed the implementation of an event streaming architecture for a customer using Apache Kafka®, KSQL from Confluent, and Kafka Streams. In this second part, they discuss the challenges faced during development, building, and deployment of the KSQL portion of their application, and how Gradle was used to address them. They also explore using Gradle to build and deploy KSQL user-defined functions (UDFs) and Kafka Streams microservices. The series concludes with a discussion on writing a KSQL event streaming application, including what scripts look like, how they are organized in a Git repository, and how they combine them into pipelines.
