Overview

The Confluent Platform Quickstart demo is the automated version of the Confluent Platform Quickstart

Additional Examples

For additional examples that showcase streaming applications within an event streaming platform, please refer to these demos.

Confluent Platform Quick Start for the local Docker version of Confluent Platform: run the command below and then open your browser and navigate to the Control Center at http://localhost:9021/:

./start.sh

In order to Confluent Platform with community components only, run the command below:

./start-community.sh

This quickstart for Confluent Cloud is similar to those above for Confluent Platform, but leverages 100% Confluent Cloud services, including a ksqlDB application which builds streams and tables using Avro, Protobuf and JSON based formats. After logging into the Confluent CLI, run the command below and open your browser navigating to https://confluent.cloud. Note: the demo creates real cloud resources and incurs charges.

./start-cloud.sh

You may explicitly set the cloud provider and region. For example:

CLUSTER_CLOUD=aws CLUSTER_REGION=us-west-2 ./start-cloud.sh

Here are the variables and their default values:

Variable	Default
CLUSTER_CLOUD	aws
CLUSTER_REGION	us-west-2
