Building Event-Driven APIs

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

Builds a live Customer 360 by sourcing CDC from SQL Server and Oracle into Kafka using kafka connect CDC connectors, processing and joining streams with ksqlDB to produce a compacted materialized table, and exposing it two ways: synchronous pull queries and ksqlDB push queries that keep the HTTP connection open and emit changes. Demo runs with Docker, captures inserts/updates/deletes, shows JSON REST responses, and ships code on GitHub; the example runs without authentication.
