Streams processing can be solved at application level or cluster level (stream processing framework) and two of the existing solutions in these areas are Kafka Streams and Spark Structured Streaming, the former choosing a microservices approach by exposing an API and the later extending the well known Spark processing capabilities to structured streaming processing.

This workshop aims to discuss the major differences between the Kafka and Spark approach when it comes to streams processing: starting from the architecture, the functionalities, the limitations in both solutions, the possible use cases for both and some of the implementation details.
