Read why enterprises leverage the open source ecosystem of Apache Kafka for successful integration of different legacy and modern applications instead of ESB, ETL or MQ.
Machine Learning / Deep Learning models can be used in different ways to do predictions. Natively in the application or hosted in a remote model server. Then you combine stream processing with RPC / Request-Response paradigm. This blog post shows examples of stream processing vs. RPC model serving using Java, Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams, gRPC and TensorFlow Serving.
Apache Kafka + KSQL Live Demo using CSV, JSON, Apache Avro. 10min live demo to get introduced to KSQL – the streaming SQL engine for Apache Kafka. Write and deploy SQL queries for stream processing instead of source code.
KSQL is the open source, Apache 2.0 licensed streaming SQL engine on top of Apache Kafka. This post shows a deep dive (slides + video recording) including its relation to Kafka Connect and Kafka Streams, concepts, architecture and deployment options.
This blog post discusses how to build a highly scalable, mission-critical microservice infrastructure with Apache Kafka, Kafka Streams, and Apache Mesos respectively in their vendor-supported platforms from Confluent and Mesosphere.
I am happy that my first official Confluent blog post was published and want to link to it from by blog:
