Confluent is building the foundational platform for data in motion. Our cloud-native offering is designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organisation. With Confluent, organisations can create a central nervous system to innovate and win in a digital-first world.

What is Apache Kafka® and how does it work?

Apache Kafka® was built with the vision to become the central nervous system that makes real-time data available to all the applications that need to use it, with numerous use cases like stock trading and fraud detection, to transportation, data integration, and real-time analytics.

This 2 part series you will get an overview of what Kafka is, what it's used for, and the core concepts that enable it to power a highly scalable, available and resilient real-time event streaming platform. The series begins with an introduction to the shift toward real-time data streaming, and continues all the way through to best practices for developing applications with Apache Kafka® and how to integrate Kafka into your environment.

Whether you’re just getting started or have already built stream processing applications, you will find actionable insights in this series that will enable you to further derive business value from your data systems.

This training is comprised of the following topics::

1.Benefits of Stream Processing and Apache Kafka® Use Cases
2.Apache Kafka® Architecture & Fundamentals Explained
3.How Apache Kafka® Works

Five Tips for Enabling Enterprise-Wide Data Streaming

GenAI has the potential to revolutionize industries by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and providing better outcomes for individuals and businesses. This potential has come into being as a result of the availability of large amounts of data and the development of powerful computing systems that can process that data quickly. However, the current hype around AI is distracting businesses from its real value - the capacity to solve real-world problems and address practical challenges. As the AI hype dies down and productive tools begin to emerge, the integration between streaming data and AI will grow stronger.



Join Italo Nesi, Advisory Solutions Engineer at Confluent, for a webinar where he will discuss:



• Leading use cases for data streaming and GenAI
• How to tap into continuously enriched, trustworthy data streams to quickly scale and build real-time AI applications
• How to build governed, secured, and trusted AI
• How Confluent's depth of integration with Apache Flink makes it easier to build end-to-end AI pipelines that can handle data ingestion, processing, and analysis.

• The relationship between Machine Learning and Generative AI data products

Data mesh is a new approach to designing data architectures by embracing organisational and data-centric constructs, such as data management and governance. The idea is that data should be easily accessible and interconnected across the entire business.

In this talk, will cover:
 
- The basics of building a streaming data mesh with Kafka & how Confluent enables this. 
- The four principles of the data mesh: domain-driven decentralisation, data as a product, self-service data platform, and federated governance.
- The differences between working with event streams versus centralised approaches.
- How to onboard data from existing systems into a mesh, modelling the communication within the mesh
- How to deal with changes to your domain’s “public” data, give examples of global standards for governance
- The importance of taking a product-centric view of data sources and the data sets they share.

Apache Kafka®, Confluent, and the Data Mesh

The State of Data Streaming for Financial Services in 2023

Data Streaming with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink is one of the world's most relevant and talked about paradigms in technology. With the buzz around this technology growing, join Kai Waehner, Global Field CTO at Confluent, to hear his predictions for the 'Top Five Trends for Data Streaming in 2024'. In this webinar, Kai will discuss:

• Data Sharing: Decentralized data mesh architecture with independent data products building or buying cloud-native software components. Collaborating within and outside the organization with data sharing using streaming protocols like Kafka, APIs like REST/HTTP, and open standards like AsyncAPI

• Data Contracts: Policy enforcement for structure, integrity constraints, metadata, rules, and other requirements to ensure data governance and compliance across the end-to-end data streaming pipelines

• Serverless Stream Processing: Focusing on business value leveraging a fully managed, integrated, and secure infrastructure for data correlation to implement streaming ETL and application development.

• Multi-Cloud: Data bridge, migrations, or disaster recovery across cloud providers with reliable uni- or bidirectional data synchronization

• AI: Data fabric for machine learning infrastructures to train models, real-time model scoring, and integrating 3rd party services like GenAI LLMs or SaaS offerings

Top Five Data Streaming Trends for 2024

A recent research (attached) shows that nearly all financial services organizations (97%) consider it important to accelerate speed the flow of information and improve the responsiveness of the organization. With the advent of streaming data technologies that capture and process large volumes of data in real time, organizations can quickly turn events into valuable business outcomes in the form of new products and services or revenue. 

Banks such as Citigroup, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, RBC, DBS, Bank Mandiri and Euronext have partnered with Confluent to identify organizational or revenue producing improvements and develop new products or services with event streams.
