Modernize your Database with Confluent and Azure Cosmos DB

On-prem databases are slow and rigid, costing businesses money in both upfront and ongoing maintenance costs. That limits the speed at which businesses can scale, experiment, and drive innovation. Today’s organizations need scalable, cloud-native databases for improved agility, elasticity, and cost-efficiency.

However, migrating and modernizing your database can be a long journey that spans multiple teams and batch-based tools. It's highly complex and resource-intensive to load and transform data with low latency. However, modernizing your database doesn’t have to be this much of a headache.

In this demo, we will show you how to connect on-premises and multi-cloud data to Azure Cosmos DB, process that data in a stream before it reaches Azure Cosmos DB, and connect your Azure Cosmos DB data to any application. Stream processing helps manage costs and improve performance so you get high-throughput, low-latency, real-time analytics and applications.

You can expect to learn how to:

• Quickly deploy a Kafka cluster and load it with sample data
• Easily process, merge, and enrich your data using fully managed ksqlDB
• Leverage fully managed connectors to quickly build complete data pipelines for your real-time apps
