Brewing Real-time Data Pipelines
with Kafka + Druid

Modern event analytics pipelines offer a completely different approach from traditional ETL setups. In this session, we'll showcase how to build an analytics pipeline, using Kafka x Lenses Developer Experience to deploy connectors, operate dataflows and SQL to both explore streaming data & transform it. We'll also dive into Apache Druid for real-time OLAP, demonstrating how to efficiently pre-process, stream, and analyze data in real-time.
