streams

The Sentry Streaming Platform

Run pyFlink application locally.

PyFlink application can run with an embedded flink without having to run the Flink Server in a stand alone way. Just run the application in the Python interpreter.

Run direnv allow and run python py/sentry_streams/example.py.

Run echo hello world | kcat -P -b 127.0.0.1:9092 -t events to send some events and see them printed.

Run cd py/ && python sentry_streams/runner.py sentry_streams/example_config.py to get the flink runner starting.

We need a better way to do this, but at this point of the project it is alright.

Alternatives for the dev environment:

• Package a docker image with flink and the libraries. Run it as a devservice in session mode and deploy the application when testing them.
• Package the jars in the python package
