6:15-7:45: Flying High with Real-Time Stream Processing

Streaming architectures are the way of the future! As companies progress technologically with evolving business demands, customers, both internal and external, have come to expect an experience that’s hard to fulfill with legacy storage and processing techniques. The challenge with implementing a streaming architecture is that it often can be complex – multiple new vendors, new APIs, lack of familiarity with different methods of event management, and maintenance of a new product.

In this presentation, we’ll observe the different components of a real-time solution and contrast this approach from traditional batch methods. We’ll also review how a streaming architecture can be implemented while mitigating some of the complexity by using a real-time data platform called Hazelcast. Finally, we’ll walk through a sample application of this topology – monitoring and alerting against actual airplane pollution in real-time!
