An introduction to Samza / In-stream analytics with Kinesis

Join us at Unified Log London for two great talks:

• Martin Kleppmann, committer on Apache Samza and O'Reilly author, will speak on Samza

• Ian Meyers from AWS will introduce his new open-source app for in-stream analytics with Kinesis

Martin's talk

Samza, an Apache Incubator project, is a framework for processing and analysing high-volume data streams. It is built upon Apache Kafka and YARN (Hadoop 2.0). You can think of Samza as a real-time, continuously running version of MapReduce.

In this talk, Martin will show why stream processing is becoming an important part of the architecture of data-intensive applications, alongside storage and batch processing. He will explore how Samza works, and show how it reliably processes millions of messages per second. He will also examine what kinds of applications would benefit from using Samza.
