Now that KSQL is available for production use as a part of the Confluent Platform, it has never been easier to run the open-source streaming SQL engine for Apache Kafka®. Which is not to say that everything is entirely obvious to the new user. A beginning or even intermediate streaming SQL user might still need a hand, and we’re here to give you one!
Maybe you’ve already been using KSQL, and you have fallen in love with its intuitive syntax for creating and enriching streams of real-time data. Maybe you run Confluent Platform, and you already love the handy KSQL user interface and Confluent Control Center’s stream monitoring capabilities to monitor the performance of your KSQL queries.
