Modern Data Streaming Pipelines

Abstract

In this session, Tim will show you some best practices that he has discovered over the last seven years in building data streaming applications including IoT, CDC, Logs, and more.

In his modern approach, we utilize several Apache frameworks to maximize the best features of all. We often start with Apache NiFi as the orchestrator of streams flowing into Apache Kafka. From there we build streaming ETL with Apache Flink, enhance events with NiFi enrichment. We build continuous queries against our topics with Flink SQL.

We will show where Java fits in as sources, enrichments, NiFi processors and sinks.
