Kafka Streams is a client-side library designed for building applications and microservices that process data within the Kafka messaging system. Historically, Apache Kafka has often relied on frameworks like Apache Spark or Apache Storm to handle data processing between producers and consumers. However, by utilizing the Kafka Streams API directly within an application, data can be processed internally within Kafka, eliminating the need to send it to a separate cluster for processing.
