Get the playbook on avoiding cost spikes, preventing exponential growth in your data warehouse bill, and improving your data team efficiency.
Main talk:
Introduction to Apache Kafka with Python
-----------------------
Most people think of Java when talking about Kafka, but we can build powerful Kafka clients in many languages, including Python.
In this session, we'll take a look at what Apache Kafka is and how it works. Next, we'll learn how to build Kafka producers and consumers with Python. And finally, we'll look at some options for building real-time streaming applications with Kafka and Python.
