This example and accompanying tutorial show users how to deploy an Apache Kafka® event streaming application using [ksqlDB](https://www.confluent.io/product/ksql/?utm_source=github&utm_medium=demo&utm_campaign=ch.cp-demo_type.community_content.cp-demo) and [Kafka Streams](https://docs.confluent.io/current/streams/index.html?utm_source=github&utm_medium=demo&utm_campaign=ch.cp-demo_type.community_content.cp-demo) for stream processing. All the components in the Confluent platform have security enabled end-to-end. Run the example with the [tutorial](https://docs.confluent.io/current/tutorials/cp-demo/docs/index.html?utm_source=github&utm_medium=demo&utm_campaign=ch.cp-demo_type.community_content.cp-demo).

The use case is a Kafka event streaming application for real-time edits to real Wikipedia pages. Wikimedia’s EventStreams publishes a continuous stream of real-time edits happening to real wiki pages. Using Kafka Connect, a Kafka source connector `kafka-connect-sse` streams raw messages for the server sent events (SSE), and a custom Kafka Connect transform `kafka-connect-json-schema` transforms these messages and then the messages are written to a Kafka cluster. This example uses ksqlDB and a Kafka Streams application for data processing. Then a Kafka sink connector `kafka-connect-elasticsearch` streams the data out of Kafka, and the data is materialized into Elasticsearch for analysis by Kibana. Confluent Replicator is also copying messages from a topic to another topic in the same cluster. All data is using Confluent Schema Registry and Avro. Confluent Control Center is managing and monitoring the deployment.
