Title: Using Kafka and MongoDB Atlas to build modern data pipelines

Abstract:
The MongoDB Kafka Connector will be demoed with the Atlas MongoDB Cloud, for both real time, source and sink of data from a demonstration Kafka Cluster. All Demo artifacts will be available for download. Come and see how these technologies complement each other, as well as how easy it is to provision for your own requirements.

Abstract:
Apache Kafka Streaming platform has matured and enterprise adoption is the norm. With enterprise scale and adoption, security is a requirement.
