Confluent’s clients for Apache Kafka ® recently passed a major milestone—the release of version 1.0. Magnus Edenhill first started developing librdkafka about seven years ago, later joining Confluent in the very early days to help foster the community of Kafka users outside the Java ecosystem. Serialization. Getting started.

Send event data to Kafka The easiest way to get set up is to create a Confluent Cloud cluster with 2 Kafka topics: user_activity user_purchases Alternatively, you can find instructions on how to set up the cluster in the Confluent-Rockset workshop. In my workshop, I used Mockaroo data and sent that to Kafka.

We predict that streaming data will become more accessible and usable with education and training programs, along with cloud-native systems, that break down barriers to access. Danica Fine, a Senior Developer Advocate at Confluent, echoes this sentiment: “This year, the concept of data as a product will become more mainstream.

For example, you can deploy a new dynamic pricing service by simply reading events that represent current demand, using them to calculate new prices, and publishing the new prices to an existing topic, where they will be picked up by a mobile application. These are the roots from which Confluent Schema Registry evolved.

Cloud is one of the key drivers for innovation. But to perform all this experimentation; companies cannot wait weeks or even months for IT to get them the appropriate infrastructure so they can start innovating, hence why cloud computing is becoming a standard for new developments. But cloud alone doesn’t solve all the problems.

To find out, we decided to test the streaming ingestion performance of Rockset’s next generation cloud architecture and compare it to open-source search engine Elasticsearch , a popular sink for Apache Kafka. We selected Elastic Elasticsearch on Azure as it is a cloud that offers Intel Ice Lake processors. How did we do it?:

Machine sensor readings, stock prices and other time-ordered data are gathered and transmitted to databases or data warehouses, which physically store them in time-series order for fast retrieval or analysis. So why are their analytics still crawling through in batches instead of real time? This has some benefits.
