UI Demo on Minikube

This walkthrough shows the public-facing StreamForge UI flow on a local Minikube cluster:

1. Install the operator and UI with Helm
2. Open the UI and sign in
3. Create a pipeline in form mode
4. Show the generated YAML before deployment
5. Deploy the CRD to Kubernetes
6. Produce a sample event to Kafka
7. Consume the transformed event from the analytics topic

If the embedded player does not load in your renderer, use the repo asset directly: ui-minikube-demo.mp4

What the Demo Shows

• Helm install of the StreamForge operator with the built-in UI enabled
• Login with the demo credentials admin / admin
• Pipeline creation through the UI instead of hand-written YAML
• YAML preview before create
• Runtime verification with a produced input event and a consumed transformed output event

Expected transformed output:

{"amount":125,"order_id":"ord-ui-demo-1001","region":"us"}

Demo Topics

• Input topic: raw-orders-ui-demo
• UI-declared destination topic: mirror-orders-ui-demo
• Verified transformed output topic: analytics-orders-ui-demo

Demo Note

This recording keeps the transformed verification on a dedicated analytics topic so the public walkthrough stays accurate while the current UI deployment flow still mirrors the first declared destination as a raw stream.
