Added technical documentation for the Kafka Streams implementation in quarkus-api, which serves as the real-time data processing and caching layer between Flink jobs and the frontend.

Documentation Added

Kafka Streams Architecture (quarkus-api/src/main/java/com/ververica/composable_job/quarkus/kafka/streams/README.md)

  • KafkaStreamsTopology: Stream processing pipeline consuming inventory-events, maintaining materialized KTable for product cache, processing chat/data point streams
  • ProductCacheService: Dual-source cache manager handling full products (from products topic) and partial updates (from inventory events), implements intelligent merge logic to prevent race conditions
  • ProcessingFanoutProcessor: Custom processor for bounded state stores with automatic trimming
  • CacheQueryService: Interactive Queries interface for state store access

Key Patterns Documented

  • CQRS read model via KTable materialization
  • Event sourcing from inventory event streams
  • Race condition mitigation: filters PRODUCT_ADDED events, merges partial updates only into existing products
  • WebSocket fanout for real-time client synchronization

Integration Overview

Flink → inventory-events → KafkaStreamsTopology → KTable (products-cache)
