Database Streaming with Apache Kafka

https://cnfl.io/database-streaming-with-apache-kafka | Database streaming enables data ingestion, processing, storage, and enrichment on real-time data, as soon as it’s generated. A streaming database also unlocks real-time insights and analytics on those data streams, allowing you to simultaneously update the results of any registered queries, unlike a traditional database where processing only happens at read time during query execution.

To get a streaming database production ready, there are steps required to get it right. The Stream Processing team led by Michael Drogalis (Principal Product Manager, Confluent), also the folks who helped build ksqlDB—a streaming database purpose-built for stream processing applications, available in Confluent Cloud, has released a series of technical papers on the Confluent blog to tell you all about streaming databases.

The series includes blog posts by:
► Michael Drogalis (Principal Product Manager, Confluent), who explains the foundations in streaming database design and adopting SQL for streaming and data in motion:

► Michael Noll (Principal Technologist, Office of the CTO, Confluent) and Matthias Sax (Staff Software Engineer I, Product Infrastructure, Confluent), who describe how SQL has shifted from a language for data at rest into a language that is capable of handling data in motion:

Through this series of blog posts, we hope to share findings that support your Apache Kafka® journey.
