Public Transit Status with Apache Kafka In this project, we constructed a streaming event pipeline around Apache Kafka and its ecosystem. Using public data from the Chicago Transit Authority we constructed an event pipeline around Kafka that allows us to simulate and display the status of train lines in real time. When the project is complete, you will be able to monitor a website to watch trains move from station to station.

Setting up the virtual environment is especially crucial for machine learning projects (data science projects) because of the number of package modules and different versions. There are three ways of creating a virtual environment setup in Python. In this post, three different ways of virtual environments will be introduced step by step, conda, pip, venv! I prefer using conda and venv. Python Virtual Environment Conda Environment Set up Download and install conda if you don’t have it already.
