Sasi Teja K, OSS Community Catalyst, GlassFlowTalk:
Kafka as the Split Brain: Hot & Cold Data Architectures in PracticeAbstract:
Modern data platforms often struggle to serve two very different needs: *real-time decision making and long-term analytics* . In this talk, we’ll explore how Kafka becomes the natural split point for these two data paths. We’ll look at a *Hot vs Cold data architectures* , where the same Kafka stream feeds both Cold and Hot paths.*Cold path* → Apache Iceberg via Kafka Connect Long-term storage, batch-friendly analytics, schema evolution, and the ability to fix data quality issues later.
*Hot path* → ClickHouse Low-latency queries, real-time dashboards, and immediate business value—where data must be clean, query-ready, and trustworthy from the moment it arrives.We’ll discuss why data quality expectations differ between hot and cold paths, how tools like GlassFlow help clean and prepare data in real time, and how different use cases (dashboards, alerts, and even “bad data” detection) can coexist on the hot path.
The session will focus on *architectural decisions, real-world patterns, a demo showing a live Hot path* - you can apply all this when building streaming platforms with Kafka.
