About the event
Manipulating real-time data is increasingly becoming important for organizations of all sizes. With expertise in Apache Kafka® Streams and ksqlDB, you can help meet this demand.
Learn to identify patterns and use cases for real-time data and stream processing to unlock their potential. Take a deep dive into the architecture of Apache Kafka® Streams, master building apps for real-time data transformation, aggregation, and more. Get hands-on with ksqlDB, where the simplicity of SQL seamlessly meets Kafka Streams to write powerful queries.
After attending this event, you’ll be able to:
- Develop real-time applications with Kafka Streams API.
- Explore ksqlDB’s fault-tolerant, high-performance stream processing capabilities.
- Learn to enrich real-time streaming data by ,filtering, transforming, aggregating, and joining data streams.
- Gain insights into testing, securing, deploying, and monitoring applications.
- Connect with fellow developers, architects, and data scientists.
Target Audience: This event will cater to application developers, architects, DevOps engineers, and data scientists aiming to create impactful real-time applications.
Prerequisites: Familiarity with Java (or similar languages like C# or Python) and Kafka architecture is recommended. To make the most of this event, consider taking the recommended prerequisites: Confluent Fundamentals for Apache Kafka® and Confluent Developer Skills for Building Apache Kafka®.
