## What it is
A curated collection of demos and examples showcasing Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Confluent Platform event streaming, including Confluent Cloud, stream processing, and data pipeline use cases. It serves as a learning resource and configuration reference for building Kafka-based streaming applications.

## Use cases
- learn apache kafka with hands-on examples
- set up an end-to-end streaming ETL pipeline demo
- try kafka connect and debezium CDC examples
- explore ksqlDB stream processing queries
- build producer and consumer clients against confluent cloud
- reference a secured kafka deployment configuration

## When to choose
- you want runnable, curated demos for Kafka, Flink, or Confluent Platform
- you are learning event streaming or preparing Confluent Cloud deployments
- you need example configurations for connectors, schema registry, or security

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready application rather than demo code
- you want a Kafka client library instead of example projects
- you use a streaming platform other than Kafka/Confluent
