The Rise of Data Streaming Platforms

Apache Kafka and Apache Flink are powering a new category of data infrastructure called data streaming platform (DSP). This provides an opportunity for each enterprise to take actions on what’s happening in its business in real time. I will first provide an overview of DSP. DSP has both similarities and differences to database systems. I will show how existing database technologies can be used in this new platform and some of the unique problems that DSP needs to solve. I will conclude with some of the new opportunities on DSP.
