In this module, we will apply aggregation techniques in a real-time Order Management application. You’ll learn how to count orders and calculate revenue by store, leveraging Kafka Streams for real-time data processing in a retail context.

Rekeying Kafka Records for Stateful Operations

In this module, we will dive into the concept of rekeying in Kafka Streams. You’ll learn how null keys affect stateful operations and how to effectively repartition your data using the selectKey operator to ensure accurate processing.

StateFul Operations in Kafka Streams - Join

In this module, we will focus on join operations in Kafka Streams, covering inner, left, and outer joins across KStreams, KTables, and GlobalKTables. You’ll learn how to implement these joins in real-world scenarios and understand the internal mechanics behind them.

Join in Order Management Application - A Real-Time Use Case

In this module, we will apply join operations to a real-time Order Management application. You’ll implement a join between aggregated revenue data and store details, demonstrating the practical use of joins in Kafka Streams.

StateFul Operations in Kafka Streams - Windowing

In this module, we will explore the concept of windowing in Kafka Streams, an essential technique for managing time-based stateful operations. You’ll learn how to implement various window types and control the timing of results using advanced operators.

Widowing in Order Management Application - A Real-Time Use Case
