Data platform provider Confluent has unveiled a visual interface, called Stream Designer, that enables developers to build and deploy streaming data pipelines on the company’s Kafka-based platform and cloud service. Stream Designer provides a SQL-based approach to build data flow logic. In short, Stream Designer aims to abstract away all the nuts and bolts of building Kafka data streaming pipelines without abstracting away so much that there’s no visual pinpoint between the source code and the UI.

Stream Designer will create the topic on your behalf and add it to the canvas in the graphical interface.

In addition to the ease of pipeline creation, Stream Designer also offers a visual representation of the data flow from connection to source into the topic.
