We used to talk about the world’s collective data in terms of terabytes. Now, according to IDC’s latest Global Datasphere, we talk in terms of zettabtytes: 138Z of new data will be created in 2024—and 24% of it will be real-time data. How important is real-time streaming data to enterprise organizations? If they want to respond at the speed of business, it’s crucial. In this digital economy, having a competitive advantage requires using data to support quicker decision-making, streamlined operations, and optimized customer experiences. Those things all come from data.

At many financial services firms, data is scattered across multiple silos and may only be accessible through static, batched reports. Without unifying this data and making it available to applications in real time, it’s almost impossible to power AI and deliver an advanced, digital customer experience. Our eBook explains how event streaming, an emerging technology for analyzing event data in real time, can make all the difference. You will learn how combining event streaming from Apache Kafka® and Confluent with Google Cloud can help.

Streaming data is the glue that takes information from siloed systems such as retail banking, loan processing, and credit cards and combines it with mobile banking and website activity—without requiring any modification of the existing systems. For financial services, there’s a very clear advantage to linking together the data already being produced on legacy technologies.

Systems central to insurance such as underwriting, billing, and claims processing have always produced abundant data, but that data has traditionally been siloed and hard to connect. Streaming data platforms provide the missing link to connect rich data to new mobile applications and website activity without requiring insurance organizations to modify their existing systems.

Ventana Research finds that more than nine in ten organizations place a high priority on speeding the flow of information and improving the responsiveness of their organizations. This is where event streaming comes in. Even for retailers still beholden to legacy technologies, there are ways to connect data events in real time across the organization.

You know the fundamentals of Apache Kafka. You are a Spring Boot developer and working with Apache Kafka. You have chosen Spring Kafka to integrate with Apache Kafka. You implemented your first producer, consumer, and maybe some Kafka streams, it's working... Hurray! You are ready to deploy to production what can possibly go wrong?

De nombreuses entreprises collectent et stockent leurs données dans divers centres de données et utilisent de multiples applications et services commerciaux pour y accéder, les analyser et agir en conséquence. Gérer cette montagne de données, qui proviennent toutes de sources disparates est très difficile. Bien souvent, les méthodes employées sont inefficaces et produisent peu de résultats.

Nos encontramos ante el desafío de tomar decisiones utilizando datos distribuidos en entornos dispares y heterogéneos, lo que trae como consecuencia que sea muy complicado y complejo tomar acciones adecuadas. La extracción de datos de diferentes ambientes (nube, VPC y On-Premise) es difícil de manejar, ineficiente e ineficaz si se quiere producir resultados confiables y que posean valor para la organización.

Large enterprises, government agencies, and many other organisations rely on mainframe computers to deliver the core systems managing some of their most valuable and sensitive data. However, the processes and cultures around a mainframe often prevent the adoption of the agile, born-on-the web practices that have become essential to developing cutting edge internal and customer-facing applications.

A company's journey to the cloud often starts with the discovery of a new use case or need for a new application. Deploying Confluent Cloud, a fully managed cloud-native streaming service based on Apache Kafka, enables organisations to revolutionise the way they build streaming applications and real-time data pipelines.

In unserem digitalen Zeitalter von Big Data und IoT, in dem täglich mehrere Trillionen Byte an Daten produziert werden, ist es für Unternehmen von ganz erheblicher Bedeutung, die richtigen Daten, zur richtigen Zeit bereit zu haben – egal in welcher Applikation und unabhängig davon, ob in der Cloud oder on-premise.

Oggi, molto spesso, i dati aziendali risiedono su diverse applicazioni, con logiche di rappresentazione e di gestione degli stessi dati, troppo eterogenee. Laddove si richiede il consumo di questi dati sparsi, per un uso centralizzato, il processo di estrazione da fonti cosí disparate, diventa difficile da gestire ed estremamente inefficiente.

Learn how Apache Kafka and Confluent help the gaming industry leverage real-time integration, event streaming, and data analytics for seamless gaming experiences at scale.

Apache Kafka is an open source event streaming platform. It is often used to complement or even replace existing middleware to integrate applications and build microservice architectures. Apache Kafka is already used in various projects in almost every bigger company today. Understood, battled-tested, highly scalable, reliable, real-time. Blockchain is a different story. This technology is a lot in the news, especially related to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. But what is the added value for software architectures? Is blockchain just hype and adds complexity? Or will it be used by everybody in the future, like a web browser or mobile app today? And how is it related to an integration architecture and event streaming platform? This session explores use cases for blockchains and discusses different alternatives such as Hyperledger, Ethereum and a Kafka-native tamper-proof blockchain implementation. Different architectures are discussed to understand when blockchain really adds value and how it can be combined with the Apache Kafka ecosystem to integrate blockchain with the rest of the enterprise architecture to build a highly scalable and reliable event streaming infrastructure.

TCO is the total cost of ownership, calculating out purchase price plus costs to operate. A comprehensive TCO assessment should factor in time, manpower, and other costs across an entire organization over time. Open source vs SaaS is a common topic, with open source software claiming to be "free," and vendors making claims around their software reducing TCO, or improving ROI. But how do you measure these claims? What are the assumptions? How robust are the estimates? This white paper provides answers to these questions for Confluent Cloud by outlining the model we use, our approach, and a customer example, sharing lessons learned along the way.
