You have all this data coming into the system, what are you going to do with it? Maybe store it in some lake ‘o data to never be spoken of again? Or better yet, write it to a microservice’s dedicated store where no one has access to.

Let’s think about things in a different way - use that data in real time! Make decisions on the fly to help your customers with a better experience! Store the decisions as a record of business value already realized.

In this session, we are going to look at how streaming and real-time AI enables enterprises to do more with data. But we’re not going to weigh you down with all the boring business trends and percentages. We are going to review a working example of an ecommerce site watching the viewing trends of a live customer and promoting related items that are of strong interest to the person. It doesn’t get any more real time than this!

ACID transactions are coming to Apache Cassandra!  Tune in to learn how you'll be able to leverage Cassandra to apply a group of operations across several partition keys, and have it treated as an atomic, single unit of work.  See how this change is going to dramatically improve the Cassandra developer experience and open the Cassandra world up to a whole slew of new use cases.

We start by introducing the concept of ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, Durable) transactions within the Apache Cassandra paradigm.  We also discuss the current roadmap for implementation, as well as a little about the computer science behind the enhancement.
