KIP-405 and KIP-833 stand to make a big impact, not just in the world of event streaming but on the larger data infrastructure of your business too. Kafka no longer just powers the operational side of business but is making significant inroads into the analytical side too. Many are realising that a tiered storage enabled Kafka (containing the huge variety of data enabled by Kraft), shows many of the same characteristics as a traditional datalake and can be used to serve requests for raw historical data as well as linking services and applications.
In this talk we will explore the efficiencies that can be gained by using Kafka for this role. Kafka as a datalake can greatly simplify data infrastructure, improve consistency between operational and analytical data, dramatically reduce costs and provide advantages in terms of the freshness and variety of data available to analysts. We will also cover the critical features that are missing to make this possible and ways in which these may be achieved in today and future.
Join us for an exciting look into the future where we expand the role of Kafka in the data infrastructure and challenge the ETL/ELT status quo.
