This is a one-minute video showing an animated architectural diagram of an integration between Amazon DynamoDB and Confluent Cloud using an open-source Kafka connector. The integration allows you to avoid maintaining custom code, and gives you the ability to automatically discover and adapt to changes in DynamoDB tables. All details are provided.

Apache Flink SQL has a lot in common with SQL databases, but in several fundamental ways it’s actually quite different. Learn how Apache Flink has adapted concepts like queries, materialized views, catalogs, and ACID guarantees from SQL databases to fit into the world of stream processing.

Using Apache Flink watermarks can create havoc when you have a stream that has significant delays between records. In this video we’ll talk about a possible solution to this situation using a batch close record, which will ensure that your data is up to date.

This is a one-minute video showing an animated architectural diagram of an integration between Amazon DynamoDB and Confluent Cloud using Kinesis Data Streams and the Kinesis Data Streams connector. It’s a fully managed and serverless solution that reduces operational complexity and leverages scalability and cost-effectiveness.

The Confluent Q3 ’24 Launch is packed with the new features and tools needed to make stream processing a developer’s best friend. We’re also introducing Client-Side Field Level Encryption, WarpStream, and more! Our quarterly launches provide a single resource to learn about the accelerating number of new features we’re bringing to Confluent Cloud, our cloud-native data streaming platform.

Shift Left is a rethink of how we circulate, share and manage data in our organizations using DataStreams, Change Data Capture, FlinkSQL and Tableflow. It addresses the challenges with multi-hop and medallion architectures using batch pipelines by shifting the data preparation, cleaning and schemas to the point where data is created and as a result, you can build fresh trustworthy datasets as streams for operational use cases or Apache Iceberg tables for analytical use cases.
