End-to-End Integration from the IoT Edge to Confluent Cloud

Level Up Your Kafka Skills in Just 5 Days | Join Season of Streaming

Watch Now

This interactive whiteboard presentation discusses use cases leveraging the Apache Kafka® open source ecosystem as a streaming platform to process IoT data. The session shows architectural alternatives of how devices like cars, machines or mobile devices connect to Apache Kafka via IoT standards like MQTT or OPC-UA.

Learn how to analyze the IoT data either natively on Apache Kafka with Kafka Streams / KSQL or other tools leveraging Kafka Connect. Kai Waehner will also discuss the benefits of Confluent Cloud and other tools like Confluent Replicator or MQTT Proxy to build bidirectional real time integration from the edge to the cloud.

Watch now to:
