Capturing Continuous Data Streams with Kafka Connect - Trilogy Tech Talks ft. Confluent
This "Bridge to Cloud" Tech Talk focuses on how Confluent products are being used by Trilogy, and other organizations, to make data available across environments so that applications and workloads can shift over time.
Government agencies are working to leverage the benefits of cloud computing but such a transition is not a matter of lift and shift but a process over years. In many cases an agency will never fully move 100% of the workload to the cloud but in either case on premise and cloud environments will need to co-exist.
The single biggest challenge to this is how to make data ubiquitous in a hybrid operational environment.
