SQL 2025 C.E.S. - a new way to stream data

SQL Server 2025 introduces Change Event Streaming (CES) to push row‑level changes directly into Azure Event Hubs in real time. This session highlights how CES simplifies architectures, removes ETL bottlenecks, and enables cloud‑native, event‑driven systems. There will be demos showing how CES emits CloudEvents in JSON, supports high‑throughput workloads, and scales cleanly across multiple consumers.

Take aways:
- Real‑time streaming — How SQL Server 2025 emits inserts, updates, and deletes as CloudEvents.
- Event‑driven design — Why CES is ideal for microservices and reactive applications.
- Simplified pipelines — How CES reduces ETL overhead and decouples systems.
- Scalable consumption — How multiple downstream services can read the same event stream.
- Configuration essentials — What you need to set up streaming groups and connect to Event Hubs.

DATE CHANGE! Make sure to mark your calendars for June 10!
