The Art of Building Open Data Lakes with Apache Hudi, Kafka, Hive, and Debezium

Build near real-time, open-source data lakes on AWS using a combination of Apache Kafka, Hudi, Spark, Hive, and Debezium

Introduction

In the following post, we will learn how to build a data lake on AWS using a combination of open-source software (OSS), including Red Hat’s Debezium, Apache Kafka, Kafka Connect, Apache Hive, Apache Spark, Apache Hudi, and Hudi DeltaStreamer. We will use fully-managed AWS services to host the datasource, the data lake, and the open-source tools. These services include Amazon RDS, MKS, EKS, EMR, and S3.
