Summary

In a recent installment of the DeltaStream 101 blog series, the focus is on demonstrating how to integrate DeltaStream with the data visualization platform Superblocks to create an application that visualizes real-time data changes. This integration is exemplified by developing a live dashboard for a delivery company to track vehicles and drivers using Apache Kafka for data storage and streaming. The process involves creating structured streams and changelogs in DeltaStream to manage navigation data, which is stored in JSON format, and transferring it to Superblocks for visualization. The navigation data includes details such as driver and car IDs, locations, and speed, which are queried and processed to display the latest information on a map. Superblocks requires an API token for secure access, which is generated in DeltaStream, and a new application is set up to fetch and visualize the data based on user inputs for driver and car IDs. The blog post provides detailed steps and configurations on creating the necessary data streams, materialized views, and Superblocks application to achieve this real-time data visualization.
