This is a curated list of demos that showcase Apache Kafka® stream processing on the Confluent Platform. Some demos run on local Confluent Platform installs (download Confluent Platform) and others run on Docker (install Docker and Docker Compose).
The best demo to start with is cp-demo, which spins up a Kafka event streaming application using KSQL for stream processing. cp-demo also comes with a playbook and video series, and is a great configuration reference for Confluent Platform.
