Core support for Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) was added to Apache Kafka in the 0.10.2 release. This allows for simple username/password authentication to Kafka using SASL. We are excited to add this authentication mechanism to the Eventador service. Here is how it works.
While Twitter and WordCount are probably two of the most common ways to get started with streaming data, there’s good reason (for Twitter at least) – it’s a fun way to work on actual real-time, unbounded streams of interesting data. In this post, I’m going to explore some techniques to normalize, window, and introspect the […]
With the release of Apache Flink 1.6, we’ve written an updated post on using the Flink Table and SQL APIs with more current steps and tutorials.
Early this week I gave a talk at the Austin Kafka/Stream Processing Meetup. It was a great time and we had a fantastic turnout. I wanted to share the slides, examples, and a couple of thoughts on the Meetup itself.

Over time, it became clear we were only solving for one part of the complete picture. With Kafka, our service had the data transport, durability, and scalability, […]
This release focuses on making the service even more robust, easier to use, and overall customer experience. Many of these features were inspired by direct feedback from you, our customers. Thank you for helping us build the best Apache Kafka™ managed service in existence.
Since the very first release of Eventador.io we have had a SQL interface. We strongly believe that SQL is an incredible language for dealing with streaming data. Not only semantically, but also because it opens up a whole ecosystem of tools and utilities. As we have grown and gathered customer feedback over the last number […]
