MemSQL Demo: How Kafka and Modern Databases Benefit Apps & Analytics

Connected devices, IoT, and on-demand user expectations push enterprises to deliver instant answers at scale. Applications that anticipate customer needs and fulfill expectations for fast, personalized services win the attention of consumers. Perceptive companies have taken note of these trends and are turning to memory-optimized technologies like Apache Kafka and MemSQL to power real-time analytics.

Building real-time systems begins with capturing data at its source and using a high-throughput messaging system like Kafka. Taking advantage of a distributed architecture, Kafka is built to scale producers and consumers by simply adding servers to a given cluster. This effective use of memory, combined with commit log on disk, provides ideal performance for real-time pipelines and durability in the event of server failure. From there, data can be transformed and persisted to a database like MemSQL.

MemSQL persists data from real-time streams coming from Kafka. By combining transactions and analytics in a memory-optimized system, data is rapidly ingested from Kafka, then persisted to MemSQL. Users can then build applications on top of MemSQL and supply each application with the most recent data available.

You'll learn:
• How to build new data pipelines with modern tools
• Enable data workflows to support machine learning and predictive analytics
• Deploy a real-time data pipeline using Apache Kafka and MemSQL Pipelines in under 5 minutes
