Is Apache Kafka and IBM Event Streams

The amount of data the world produces is growing exponentially every year and many companies are realizing the potential of harnessing this data. A lot of this is generated in the form of a never ending stream of events, with publishers creating the events and subscribers consuming them in many different ways.

This is where Apache Kafka comes in; Kafka isn't just a messaging system - it's an event streaming platform which is becoming the de-facto technology for any event streaming application. IBM Event Streams is a fully supported Apache Kafka with value add capabilities.

This session will cover the fundamental concepts used in Apache Kafka and introduce the additional capabilities that make IBM Event Streams a great choice for any customer looking to introduce event-streaming into their architecture.
