Thanks everyone who attended this Business Intelligentsia DC meetup. Special thanks to MemSQL, MakeOffices and Simtelligent for their support. View this to learn what makes MemSQL different, how it fits in the database landscape, and why customers are saying great things about it. Learn how MemSQL persists data from real-time streams coming from Kafka, a high-throughput messaging system. Connected devices, IoT, and on-demand user expectations push enterprises to deliver instant answers at scale. Applications that anticipate customer needs and fulfill expectations for fast, personalized services win the attention of consumers. Perceptive companies have taken note of these trends and are turning to memory-optimized technologies like Apache Kafka and MemSQL to power real-time analytics. Building real-time systems begins with capturing data at its source and using a high-throughput messaging system like Kafka. Taking advantage of a distributed architecture, Kafka is built to scale producers and consumers by simply adding servers to a given cluster. This effective use of memory, combined with commit log on disk, provides ideal performance for real-time pipelines and durability in the event of server failure. From there, data can be transformed and persisted to a database like MemSQL. MemSQL persists data from real-time streams coming from Kafka. By combining transactions and analytics in a memory-optimized system, data is rapidly ingested from Kafka, then persisted to MemSQL. Users can then build applications on top of MemSQL and supply each application with the most recent data available. You'll learn: * How to build new data pipelines with modern tools * Enable data workflows to support machine learning and predictive analytics * Deploy a real-time data pipeline using Apache Kafka and MemSQL Pipelines in under 5 minutes About MemSQL MemSQL is The No Limits Database™, powering modern applications and analytical systems with a cloud-native, massively scalable architecture for maximum ingest and query performance with the highest concurrency.
