Microsoft Data Platform Meetup #2

Hello, data enthusiasts!

We are happy to announce our second meetup. This time we will have a guest from Poland. Michał Żyliński works at Microsoft as a EMEA Cloud Big Data & Big Compute Technical Lead.

1. Hadoop and its alternatives: deploying Lambda architecture on top of Microsoft Azure platform - Level 300 - Michał Żyliński (40 min)

Real-time event processing is becoming nowadays crucial part of many big data systems. It does require different architectural approach when compared to - historically - batch-oriented Hadoop workloads. During this session, we’ll discuss the basics of lambda architecture, options of deploying it in cloud-based environments and real-world examples of such implementations.

2. Azure Stream Analytics: Hands-on exercises on processing car's telemetry events - Level 200 - Valdas Maksimavicius (40 min)

Azure Stream Analytics (ASA) is a fully managed cloud service for real-time processing of streaming data. ASA supports multiple different types of inputs and outputs, offering a high-level SQL-like language to transform data. We'll investigate what it takes to create, manage and debug streaming jobs, using car's telemetry data to showcase the possibilities.
