Mysql-kafka-replication

May 8, 2015 ยท View on GitHub

Demonstration of using Mysql replication protocol to stream Mysql changes into Kafka queues, then read from those queues and process Mysql changes in a Node.js script.

Installation

pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install

Oh, and go setup Kafka and get it running on localhost:9092.

Running

Set RDS_URL in your environment, or add to a local .env file and run with foreman.

First, run the Mysql replication listener:

python mysql-replicate-to-kafka.py

and then run the Node.js app:

node consumer.js

Now go make some changes to your database and see them appear in the console of the node app.
