Taking care of houseplants can be difficult; in many cases, over-watering and under-watering can have the same symptoms. Remove the guesswork involved in caring for your houseplants while also gaining valuable experience in building a practical, event-driven pipeline in your own home! This session explores the process of building a houseplant monitoring and alerting system using a Raspberry Pi and Apache Kafka. Moisture and temperature readings are captured from sensors in the soil and streamed into Kafka. From there, we use stream processing to transform the data, create a summary view of the current state, and drive real-time push alerts through Telegram.
In this session, we will talk about how to ingest the data followed by the tools, including ksqlDB and Kafka Connect, that help transform the raw data into useful information, and finally, You’ll be shown how to use Kafka Producers and Consumers to make the entire application more interactive. By the end of this session, you’ll have everything you need to start building practical streaming pipelines in your own home. Roll up your sleeves – let’s get our hands dirty!
