Talk:
Streaming Meets Speed: Real-Time Analytics with Kafka + Firebolt

Abstract:
Real-time data demands real-time decisions. In this session, we’ll explore how developers can build streaming analytics pipelines using Kafka and Firebolt’s ultra-fast data warehouse. You’ll learn how to ingest event streams, process them with low latency, and land them directly in Firebolt for sub-second analytical queries. We’ll cover the full stack - from Kafka topics and stream processors to Firebolt’s ingestion models, indexes, and query performance tuning, so you can deliver fresh, actionable insights straight from live event data.
