Learn the best practices for integrating Confluent with AWS Lambda to build event-driven architectures.

Learn about the role of batch.size and linger.ms in data compression.

Learn how to build a Java pipeline that consumes clickstream data from Apache Kafka®. Consuming clickstreams is something that many businesses have a use for and it can also be generalized to consuming other types of streaming data.

Dive into Flink SQL, a powerful data processing engine that allows you to process and analyze large volumes of data in real time. We’ll cover how Flink SQL relates to the other Flink APIs and showcase some of its built-in functions and operations with syntax examples.
