Leverage Spring Cloud Data Flow & Kafka to Solve Traditional Challenges w/ Data

Join us on November 14th to find out how you can leverage Kafka to make seamless, resilient data integration a reality in your organization.

In this meetup, we are proud to partner with Confluent, the creators of Apache Kafka. We will collectively highlight how to best integrate data with Kafka for popular business use cases within the enterprise. We will demonstrate how to leverage modern streaming extract, transform and load (ETL) processes and cloud-native development using Kafka to provide a new level of efficiency, scalability and simplicity when it comes to the most valuable asset in our technology domain; data.
