Guide overview

The steps

Getting started with streaming

[*] The monitoring step is optional

1- Creating Streams

We’ll begin by creating a stream in the Self-Service portal. Events will be produced to and consumed from this stream. We’ll provide adequate names and descriptions such that everybody who stumbles upon them has a general idea of what’s going on.

2- Preparing Applications

You’ll create producer and consumer application definitions in the Self-Service portal. This includes authorization configuration, which will enable the applications to access the recently created streams. You will also formally request access to the stream.

3- Producing Data

You’ll configure and run an example producer provided by Axual, using Java. Python, .Net and Rest clients (as well as examples) are available, but not covered as part of this guide.

This step is completed after successfully producing events to a stream.

4- Consuming Data

You’ll configure and run the counterpart of the previous application: an example Java consumer.

After successful consumption, you’ll have completed the guide. Additional examples and documentation will be provided for you to try more advanced use-cases.
