Understanding Streams in Redis and Kafka

A Visual Guide

Streams are incredibly useful but can be a little confusing to understand. Even when you think you have a firm understanding of it, stream processing can still be a very complex topic. To make it really simple, we have gone through the depths of two streaming systems, Kafka and Redis Streams and have created over 50 illustrations to make it easy to understand. Plus, we’ll also use code snippets where appropriate to really give you a realistic view of how they look when you are dealing with them.

What you'll learn

Understanding Streams
An expert-level understanding of streams, the challenges of stream processing, and how two stream processing systems (Kafka and Redis streams) work
Proof of concept
Enough knowledge to do a proof-of-concept of Redis Streams or Kafka and to determine which one is best suited for your application needs
Theoretical knowledge to aide in certification
Enough theoretical knowledge to get a head start on certification for either Redis or Kafka

Key highlights:

How to think about streams and connect the dots between different perspectives so you get a bigger picture
Some of the challenges of handling streams
How stream processing systems such as Redis Streams and Kafka work and how they implement the same concepts differently.
