Join us on January 24th, where Disney Streaming Services will be sponsoring the next Reactive Group New York Meet-up featuring keynote speaker Karthik Ramasamy, co-founder of Streamlio, a company that focuses on building next generation real time infrastructure.
Karthik's talk will focus on unifying messaging, queuing, streaming & light weight compute with apache pulsar.
Abstract
Data processing use cases, from transformation to analytics, perform tasks that require various combinations of queuing, streaming & lightweight processing steps. Until now, supporting all of those needs has required different systems for each task--stream processing engines, messaging queuing middleware, & streaming messaging systems. That has led to increased complexity for development & operations.
In this session, well discuss the need to unify these capabilities in a single system & how Apache Pulsar was designed to address that. Apache Pulsar is a next generation distributed pub-sub system that was developed & deployed at Yahoo. Streamlios Karthik Ramasamy, will explain how the architecture & design of Pulsar provides the flexibility to support developers & applications needing any combination of queuing, messaging, streaming & lightweight compute.
