pip install faust-streamingpip install confluent-kafkapip install faust-streamingpip install confluent-kafkaFaust lets Python data engineers write Kafka stream processors entirely in async Python — defining an agent as a coroutine that processes messages from a topic and produces results to another. Engineers use Faust tables for stateful aggregations (e.g., running counts or session windows) that persist across restarts via RocksDB.
Python data engineers use `confluent-kafka-python` or `kafka-python` to produce events to topics and consume them in real-time. A common pattern is a Faust or plain consumer loop that reads messages, transforms them with pandas or Pydantic, and writes results to a database or another topic. Kafka is the backbone of event-driven data architectures in Python shops.
