What problems does Apache Kafka Solve? (with Neil Buesing)
Neil Buesing is a seasoned Apache Kafka® user, and a respected voice from the Kafka community who specialises in helping companies make the best use of Kafka. And that makes him the ideal person to ask the $64,000 question: What problems can Kafka actually solve for me? Because Kafka's definitely interesting, and it can be fun, but to earn a place in the toolbox it has to make life easier.
In answering that question, Neil covers a tonne of ground, from queuing and quasi-databases, transitioning from batch to real-time, and solving general software integration headaches.
If you have data problems, big or small, join us to figure out if Kafka is the answer.
