AC Data Platform (ACDP)
ACDP stands for Asheron’s Call Data Platform (or, alternatively, ACEmulator Data Platform, because it is built with that server emulator in mind - calling it ‘AC Data Platform’ is meant to highlight the validity of both of these options). At a high level, ACDP is a data pipeline using Debezium to stream changes from the MySQL database used by ACEmulator into Kafka, where ksqlDB stream processing takes over to enable near real-time visibility into what’s happening in game. A dashboard built using SvelteKit subscribes to push queries out of ksqlDB and presents changes to characters, quests, etc.

No part of this project is associated or affiliated in any way with Turbine, Inc. or WB Games Inc. Furthermore, while I’ve had to gain familiarity with the ACEmulator codebase, I can’t take any credit for the excellent work done by that team. I’d love to change that someday!
