Southeastern Grocers Virtual Tech Talk, Hosted by Confluent

Wednesday, May 8, 2019

9:00am - 10:00am EDT

There is a major shift happening in how data powers the core of a company's business. Businesses operate in real time and the software they use is catching up. Rather than processing data only at the end of the day, why not react to it continuously as the data arrives? This is the emerging world of stream processing. Apache Kafka® was built with the vision to become the central nervous system that makes data available in real-time to all the applications that need to use it.

This talk explains how companies are using the concepts of events and streams to transform their business to meet the demands of this digital future and how Apache Kafka serves as a foundation to streaming data applications.
