What is the difference between KStream and KTable in this skill?

A KStream represents an unbounded, append-only stream of independent events, whereas a KTable represents a changelog stream where only the latest state for a specific key is maintained, acting like a table.

Can this skill help with stream windowing?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for Tumbling, Hopping, Session, and Sliding windows to handle various temporal aggregations and time-based analysis.

Does it support exactly-once semantics (EOS)?

Absolutely. It includes best practices for enabling EOS v2 (the recommended standard) and configuring properties to ensure high data integrity in production.

How does it handle topology optimization?

It suggests strategies like combining operations to reduce intermediate topic writes and reusing KTables across multiple joins to minimize resource consumption and latency.

Acerca de

This skill provides expert-level guidance for building complex Kafka Streams applications, helping developers navigate the nuances of KStream, KTable, and GlobalKTable abstractions. It excels at designing robust stream processing workflows, implementing stateful operations like windowed joins and aggregations, and ensuring data integrity through exactly-once semantics (EOS). Whether you are building real-time analytics dashboards, data enrichment pipelines, or event-driven microservices, this skill optimizes your topology for scalability, fault tolerance, and efficient state management.
