Crossing the Streams - The Data Streaming Podcast

Tim and Matt welcome you to the first episode of "Crossing the Streams", where we start to talk about event streaming, event-driven architectures, message queueing, Apache projects, and more! Today we talk about some of the basic concepts around messaging and streaming. We try to highlight the subtle differences and use cases. If you are building systems that require realtime analytics, data streaming technologies, or are merely interested in learning tune in!

For Episode 3 of Crossing the Streams, Tim and Matt are joined by Matteo Merli ( CTO StreamNative and the Apache Pulsar PMC Chair ) one of the original creators of Apache Pulsar. Matteo shares the backstory of why Pulsar was created, why it is different then other streaming and messaging solutions in the open source space, and shares with us some cool features not many people know about.

Matt continues exploring how Apache Pulsar is used in real-world scenarios. Today he talks with Frank Kelly from Cogito about how they use Pulsar in their service to analyze real-time voice conversations and make recommendations to those on the phone. Frank shares with listeners his years of experience in the messaging space and gives us tips and tricks on how he has implemented and used Apache Pulsar.

Tim and Matt continue exploring the Apache Pulsar ecosystem. Joined by special guest John Kuchmek from Cloudera, this episode explored how Apache Pulsar works in conjunction with both Apache NiFi and Apache Flink. We also learn of a few interesting new use cases that John has seen in the wild. We hope you will join us for the latest episode of crossing the streams.
