Apache Kafka - Real-time Stream Processing (Master Class) - Streaming into Kafka

The video tutorial introduces the concept of streaming data into Apache Kafka, highlighting the importance of real-time stream processing applications. It discusses two scenarios for event generation: when you have access to the source code and when you don't. The tutorial explains two main methods to stream data into Kafka: using Kafka producer APIs and data integration tools like HVR and Talent. It also mentions Kafka Connect as a framework for integrating third-party systems. The video concludes by stating that the next lecture will focus on using Kafka producer APIs.
