Additional Examples

For additional examples that showcase streaming applications within an event streaming platform, please refer to these demos.

Confluent Platform Quick Start for the local tarball install of Confluent Platform: run the command below and then open your browser and navigate to the Control Center at http://localhost:9021/:

./start.sh

Confluent Platform Quick Start for the Docker version of Confluent Platform: run the command below and then open your browser and navigate to the Control Center at http://localhost:9021/:

./start-docker.sh

Confluent Platform Quick Start for the Docker version of Confluent Platform with community components only: run the command below:

./start-docker-community.sh

This quickstart for Confluent Cloud is similar to those above for Confluent Platform, but leverages Confluent Cloud ksqlDB (version 0.10.0) and Confluent Cloud Schema Registry. After logging into the ccloud CLI, run the command below and open your browser navigating to https://confluent.cloud. Be aware the demo creates real cloud resources and incurs charges. This is for demonstration purposes and should only be used for development environments.

./start-docker-cloud.sh

This demo also shows usage of the various data formats supported by Confluent Cloud, Schema Registry and ksqlDB. The demo deploys a ksqlDB application which builds streams and tables using Avro, Protobuf and JSON based formats. The demo provides sample commands at the end of its startup showing how to consume Protobuf based data streams (e.g. users topic) and Avro based data streams (e.g. pageviews topic)
The first 20 users to sign up for Confluent Cloud and use promo code C50INTEG will receive an additional $50 free usage (details).

You may explicitly set the cloud provider and region. For example:

CLUSTER_CLOUD=aws CLUSTER_REGION=us-west-2 ./start-docker-cloud.sh

Here are the variables and their default values:

Variable	Default
CLUSTER_CLOUD	aws
