JR, quality Random Data from the Command line, part I

1

Redis

So, is JR yet another faking library written in Go? Yes and no. JR indeed implements most of the APIs in fakerjs and Go fake it, but it's also able to stream data directly to stdout, Kafka, Redis and more (Elastic and MongoDB coming). JR can talk directly to Confluent Schema Registry, manage json-schema and Avro schemas, easily maintain coherence and referential integrity. If you need more than what is OOTB in JR, you can also easily pipe your data streams to other cli tools like kcat thanks to its flexibility.

Apache Flink

Sometimes we may need to generate random data of type 2 in different streams, so the "coherency" must also spread across different entities, think for example to referential integrity in databases. If I am generating users, products and orders to three different Kafka topics and I want to create a streaming application with Apache Flink, I definitely need data to be coherent across topics.
