Powering Observability using Kafka, Druid & Grafana

Abstract:
Unleash the Power of Kafka to solve Observability!
Explore a real-world Kafka use-case in how Confluent solved Observability using Kafka, Druid & Grafana. Discover how Kafka's distributed streaming platform acts as the backbone for real-time data processing and event streaming, ensuring data integrity and high throughput. Understand how Kafka's data streaming integrates seamlessly with Druid and Grafana to provide actionable insights, alerting and enhanced system monitoring. Learn how Druid accelerates data access and facilitates real-time analysis for monitoring and decision-making. Finally get to see how Grafana empowers users to transform raw data into meaningful visualizations and enables monitoring and alerting.

We will also talk through implications for event-sourcing, CQRS and general transaction processing. We will conclude with a demo that leverages Kong - a popular open source API gateway and Kafka
