KStreamscat

KStreamscat is a tool that allows you to explore some Kafka Streams concept like Kafka Tables or Windowing.

Currently, it is a Java CLI application (to be compiled to native executable at one point), that can be downloaded from https://github.com/lordofthejars/kstreamscat/releases.

To run it, you simply run java -jar <location-jar>/kstreamscat.jar and use the valid options which can be found at: https://github.com/lordofthejars/kstreamscat/blob/master/src/main/java/com/lordofthejars/kstreamscat/KStreamsCatOptions.java.

If you are curious about the inner workings and logic for configuring the Kafka Streams application, you can take a look at https://github.com/lordofthejars/kstreamscat/blob/master/src/main/java/com/lordofthejars/kstreamscat/TopologyProducer.java.

If you want you can build the tool by running ./mvnw package. The target directory will contain a JAR file named kstreamscat-<version>-jar-with-dependencies.jar with everything bundled.
