In this post, I do not cover that much about leaderboards. I instead look at ingesting large volumes of data into ADX and how to transform that data using Azure Data Explorer Update Policies.

This post continues the journey towards creating a leaderboard system. In this post we learn more about ADX and why it is an excellent choice for near real-time applications, how to 'hook up' Kafka to ADX and how to ingest data into an ADX database.

This post is the first in a series about developing online gaming leaderboards. This post sets the foundation and you use Docker to run Kafka as well as Python in a container generating and publishing events.
