Apache Kafka & AI/ML Connecting the Dots…

Building from inception to production fully managed AI/ML use cases in the Cloud

Apache Kafka® has become the de facto standard for reliable and scalable streaming infrastructures. AI/Machine learning and the Apache Kafka ecosystem are a great combination for training and deploying analytic models at scale. AI/Machine Learning/Deep Learning are showing up more and more in projects, but still feel like buzzwords and hype for science projects. See how to connect the dots! How are both related? How can they be combined to productionize Machine Learning models in mission-critical and scalable real time applications?

Agenda Details

  • See how to converge the best of breed tools used by your Data Science teams, living in silo’s through your enterprise, to a central nervous system running in the Cloud that can be fully managed and automated to deliver your data sources for enabling real-time AI/ML/DL use cases with Apache Kafka.
  • Deep dive on the process & hands on for Citizen Data Roles in your organization to train & deploy AI/ML models using Notebooks, Python, Machine Learning / Deep Learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Kubeflow, DeepLearning4J, H2O, etc. and the Apache Kafka data pipeline ecosystem for Cloud / Kubernetes.
  • A live demo in GCP that shows how to build a mission-critical Machine Learning environment leveraging different Kafka components:
    • Kafka messaging and Kafka Connect for data movement from and into different sources and sinks
    • Kafka Streams for model deployment, pre-processing and inference in real time
    • KSQL for real time predictions and alerts
  • Showcase of Production Use case examples in Automotive, FinSrv/Insurance, Retail & Healthcare
