CLI tool to bootstrap data engineering projects (Spark, Kafka, Airflow scaffolding)
Project description
🚀 Stackgen CLI
Stackgen is a developer-first CLI tool to bootstrap production-ready data engineering projects in seconds.
Build batch, streaming, or full data pipelines with a single command.
✨ Features
- ⚡ Generate complete data engineering project scaffolds
- 🧠 Supports Batch, Streaming, and Full pipelines
- 🐳 Built-in Docker-based infrastructure setup
- 🔄 Includes Spark, Kafka, Airflow integrations
- 🎯 Interactive CLI with clean UX
- 🧩 Template-based architecture (Jinja2)
🧱 Supported Pipelines
🟢 Batch Pipeline
- Apache Spark (batch jobs)
- Apache Airflow (orchestration)
🔴 Streaming Pipeline
- Apache Kafka (event streaming)
- Spark Structured Streaming
🔥 Full Pipeline
- Batch + Streaming combined
🚀 Quickstart
1. Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/minhazalam/stackgen.git
cd stackgen
2. Setup Virtual Environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
3. Install Dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Run CLI
python -m stackgen.cli.main init my-project
5. Select Pipeline
? Select pipeline type:
❯ Batch Pipeline (Spark + Airflow)
Streaming Pipeline (Kafka + Spark)
Full Pipeline (Spark + Airflow + Kafka)
6. Run Generated Project
cd my-project
docker-compose up
📁 Example Generated Structure

🛠️ Tech Stack
- Python
- Apache Spark
- Apache Kafka
- Apache Airflow
- Docker
- Jinja2 (templating)
🧠 How It Works
- CLI collects user input (pipeline type)
- Generator builds project structure
- Jinja templates render files dynamically
- Docker setup enables instant execution
🛣️ Roadmap
- Feature toggles (Kafka / Airflow selection)
- Config-driven generation (YAML support)
- Cloud integrations (S3, Snowflake, BigQuery)
- Plugin system for custom stacks
- CI/CD pipeline templates
