Hey you!<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a start point for me to explore some ideas to learn Kafka and Event Streams in a fun way. My plan is to create a way to teach people Kafka concepts combining with some kind of hardware or game. Something like from scrap, for dummies, for kids, or from zero to one.<\/p>\n

Is it possible to learn Kafka and Event Streams with fun?<\/p>\n

Stream processing<\/a> is the act of continuously incorporating new data to compute a result. Streaming is a data distribution technique where data producers write data records into an ordered data stream from which data consumers can read that data in the same order. Here is a simple data streaming diagram illustrating a data producer, a data stream, and a data consumer.<\/p>\n

And if you look only at the Data Stream part you will see something like a Led Strip<\/p>\n

The question is can I use a led Strip to teach Event Stream nicely and funnily?<\/p>\n

I came with two ideas<\/p>\n
