Apache Kafka - Real-time Stream Processing (Master Class) - Stream Processing in Apache Kafka

The video tutorial introduces Apache Kafka producers and their importance in streaming applications. It covers three main tools for stream processing: Kafka consumer APIs, Kafka Streams Library, and KSQL. The tutorial highlights the limitations of consumer APIs for complex use cases and introduces Kafka Streams API as a more efficient solution. KSQL is discussed as an alternative with its own limitations. The course focuses on Kafka Streams Library for real-time stream processing, leaving KSQL aside.

Why is it important to handle fault tolerance in stream processing applications?

What is KSQL and how does it differ from Kafka Streams?

What are the advantages of using the Kafka Streams Library for real-time stream processing?
