# Topic Views in Action

Give one team a filtered, projected view of a Kafka topic without copying it. In this demo we build a topic view in Conduktor Gateway, consume it like any other topic, and show the raw topic stays untouched.

## What You'll Learn

- Define a topic view with a SQL filter and projection
- Consume the view by name, with only the rows and fields you chose
- Confirm the raw topic is unchanged, plus a look at header filters, REGEXP, and nested fields
