How Bosch uses Big Data to run Apache Kafka
Johannes Nachtwey – Bosch
Bosch has all the relevant enablers for Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, and autonomous driving in its portfolio and offers a wide range of hardware and software solutions. Therefore, Big Data plays a significant role within the company. However, single servers are not able to handle this large amount of data. This is where Kafka facilitates the process enormously.
Bosch uses Kafka to stream, process, and analyze data in real-time. In case you are interested in what Kafka actually is and how it technically works, this talk will be the chance to expand your knowledge. After this presentation, you will be able to give an answer to these questions. Furthermore, you will have the expertise to explain the main idea of Kafka by means of an actual use case.
Johannes works as a Big Data Engineer at the Center of Competence Big Data at Bosch. The CoC Big Data enables the Bosch Group to build innovative analytics tools used to implement for Big Data use cases. Before, he worked as a Big Data consultant in the automotive and financial industry.
