How to do stream processing with Redpanda?

Question

Redpanda seems easy to work with, but how would one process streams in real-time?

We have a few thousand IoT devices that send us data every second. We would like to get the running average of the data from the last hour for each of the devices. Can the built-in WebAssembly stuff be used for this, or do we need something like Materialize?

Answer 1

Given that it is marketed as "Kafka Compatible," any Kafka library should work with RedPanda, including Kafka Streams, KSQL, Apache Spark, Flink, Storm, etc.
