Ranking Websites in Real-time with Apache Kafka’s Streams API

This post details how Apache Kafka's Streams API can be used to implement real-time ranking algorithms like HITS, processing web link data to identify influential domains. It covers the extraction of domain links, aggregation of these links using Kafka Streams' KTable, and the iterative calculation of Hub and Authority scores for real-time website ranking. The post highlights the flexibility of Kafka Streams for building scalable, real-time data processing applications.
