Streaming Audio: A Confluent Podcast about Apache Kafka
Listen to Tim Berglund and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
Machine Learning with Kafka Streams, Kafka Connect, and ksqlDB ft. Kai Waehner
Kai Waehner defines machine learning in depth, describes the architecture of his dream machine learning pipeline, shares its relevance to Apache Kafka and the related ecosystem, and discusses the importance of security and fraud detection.
Real-Time Payments with Clojure and Apache Kafka ft. Bobby Calderwood
Payments leverages Confluent Cloud to help banks of all sizes transform to real-time banking services from traditionally batch-oriented, bankers’ hours operational mode. This is achieved through Apache Kafka® and the Kafka Streams and Kafka Connect APIs from Clojure using functional programming paradigms like transducers.
Announcing ksqlDB ft. Jay Kreps
Jay Kreps introduces ksqlDB, the event streaming database purpose-built for stream processing applications. As the successor to KSQL, ksqlDB is a specialized database for stream processing on top of Kafka, merging the concepts behind streams of data with tables of data.
Installing Apache Kafka with Ansible ft. Viktor Gamov and Justin Manchester
Ansible keeps your Apache Kafka® deployment, management, and installation consistent, and helps you implement best practices that make it easy to get started. Justin Manchester (Platform DevOps Engineer, Confluent) and Viktor Gamov (Developer Advocate, Confluent) discuss the problems that Ansible is trying to solve, enabling collaboration and optimizing all components for top performance.
Securing the Cloud with VPC Peering ft. Daniel LaMotte
With a virtual private cloud (VPC)—your own private network in the cloud that you can launch your own instances into—you can secure your cloud infrastructure and minimize the threat of potential attackers with VPC Peering, connecting VPCs together to create a path between them to keep your data safe and accessible to you alone.
