Lenses SQL means you don’t have to use a terminal to see what data is being generated by different apps and teams across Kafka environments. You can query and process data quickly and in one place.
Lenses SQL is a declarative Structured Query Language (SQL) interface, for querying, transforming and manipulating data at rest and data in motion. It works with Apache Kafka topics and other data sources. It helps developers and Kafka users to build, debug and support apps on streaming data.
There are two types of syntax to create queries with Lenses SQL - Snapshot SQL & Streaming SQL
Snapshot SQL lets you create point-in-time queries to pull existing data-at-rest from a Kafka topic or other data sources.
What can you do:
Useful when creating continuous real-time running queries for live data manipulations. A good fit for Kafka-to-Kafka, results and scales by running a SQL Processor app.
