Real-Time Kafka Streaming Simulation

This project demonstrates real-time streaming using Kafka. It simulates fake tweets and stock prices, performs sentiment analysis, and plots stock data live on a dashboard.

Components

• producer.py: Produces fake tweets and stock prices
• consumer_tweet_sentiment.py: Consumes tweets and analyzes sentiment
• dashboard_stock_plot.py: Plots live stock prices using Dash

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m textblob.download_corpora

2. Start Kafka locally on localhost:9092

3. Run each component in separate terminals:

python producer.py
python consumer_tweet_sentiment.py
python dashboard_stock_plot.py
