Building Real-time Pipelines: A Case Study with Transit Data Tim Spann
In this session, we will explore the powerful combination of Apache Flink, Apache NiFi, and Apache Kafka for building real-time data processing pipelines. We will present a case study using the FLaNK-Transit projects, which leverages these technologies to process and analyze real-time data from the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and other transit systems like Halifax and Sao Paulo. By integrating Flink, NiFi, and Kafka, FLaNK-Transit projects demonstrate how to efficiently collect, transform, and analyze high-volume data streams, enabling timely insights and decision-making.
