Visualize your Apache Kafka Streams using the Quarkus Dev UI

This article shows how you can visualize Apache Kafka Streams with reactive applications using the Dev UI in Quarkus. Quarkus, a Java framework, provides an extension to utilize the Kafka Streams API and also lets you implement stream processing applications based directly on Kafka.

Reactive messaging and Apache Kafka

With the rise of event-driven architectures, many developers are adopting reactive programming to write business applications. The requirements for these applications literally specify that they not be processed in real-time because end users don't really expect synchronous communication experiences through web browsers or mobile devices. Instead, low latency is a more important performance criterion, regardless of data volume or concurrent users.

An Introduction to Cloud-Native DevOps

DevOps, the method of automating processes between development and operations, is one of the essential factors of successfully implementing a cloud-native approach. Since cloud-native has a purpose to reduce go-to-market time and bring more efficiency to companies, DevOps is what streamlines individuals, tools, and systems, contributing to the overall success of the enterprise. This is what makes cloud-native DevOps a logical step towards improved productivity. 

Both cloud-native and DevOps movements are on the rise. Reports and Data predict that the global DevOps market will grow from $4.49 billion in 2019 to $17.27 billion in 2027
