Event Streaming Using Kafka and Live Visualization

PROJECT


Event Streaming Using Kafka and Live Visualization

In this project, we'll learn to connect the Kafka server with a consumer and producer using Python code. In the end, we'll stream your producer's CPU percentage to the consumer and plot a live graph on the consumer side using the animation method.

Event Streaming Using Kafka and Live Visualization

Project Description

In this era of IoT devices, event streaming is a core and essential part of each IoT system. Apache Kafka is essential for event streaming and the monitoring of an IoT system. It is a stream-processing framework that implements a message bus. Its goal is to provide a single, high-throughput, low-latency platform for real-time data flow.

In this project, we’ll create a producer and a consumer using Python. After that, we’ll use Kafka to stream data from the producer to the consumer. We’ll plot a live graph of data on the consumer side.
