Get started developing locally with Quix Streams

Quix Streams is an open source library for processing data in Kafka using pure Python. It’s designed to give you the power of a distributed system in a lightweight library by combining the low-level scalability and resiliency features of Kafka with an easy to use Python interface.

Step 1

Install Quix Streams

python3 -m pip install quixstreams
Step 2

Connect to Kafka and process streaming data with DataFrames

from quixstreams import Application
import uuid

# Connect to the public Quix hosted broker to consume data
app = Application(
    broker_address="publickafka.quix.io:9092",  # Kafka broker address
    consumer_group=str(uuid.uuid4()),  # Kafka consumer group
    auto_offset_reset='latest',  # Read topic from the end
    producer_extra_config={'enable.idempotence': False}
)

input_topic = app.topic("demo-onboarding-prod-chat", value_deserializer='json')

sdf = app.dataframe(input_topic)

sdf["tokens_count"] = sdf["message"].apply(lambda message: len(message.split(" ")))
sdf = sdf[["role", "tokens_count"]]

sdf = sdf.update(lambda row: print(row))

app.run(sdf)
