[Ebook] The Builder's Guide to Streaming Data Mesh | Read Now
Check out the recorded sessions from Current 2023 | The Next Generation of Kafka Summit, and hear from subject matter experts across a variety of industries.
Chances are, if you’re working to build mission-critical applications, you’re familiar with the intersections where AI, machine learning, and data (both real-time and historical) meet. At this stage in the game, AI is becoming prevalent in nearly every major industry, with adoption having increased three times since 2019 and 25% of AI initiatives and 36% of AI models now reported to be in production [source].
But with all the rising hype around the future of AI, it’s important to remember: at a fundamental level, operationalizing the use of AI and machine learning within organizations requires access to reliable, high-quality data for effective training and adaptation. This is where data streaming becomes useful for teams looking to optimize the way they tap into data to fuel AI applications.
Data streaming maximizes the power of AI applications by:
Enabling continuous training on data streams
Facilitating efficient and perpetual data synchronization from source systems to machine learning platforms
Enabling real-time application of AI models
Providing access to high-volume data processing
With this in mind, where does one begin when looking to learn more about how AI and data streaming go hand in hand? We’ve rounded up a few helpful resources to get you started!
1. Uniting the Machine Learning and Data Streaming Ecosystems (blog series)
In part one of this two-part blog series, you’ll learn about how machine learning and data streaming markets are colliding/overlapping and the socio-technical barriers we need to resolve to unite them. In part two, you’ll explore the current landscape of solutions (along with a breakdown of their limitations) and how to use an array of tools for real-time machine learning today.
2. GPT-4 + Streaming Data = Real-Time Generative AI (webinar and blog)
In this webinar and corresponding blog post, you’ll discover how to harness ChatGPT to build real-world use cases and integrations in your organization.
3. Considerations for Abstracting Complexities of a Real-Time ML Platform (recorded talk)
In this recorded talk, you’ll discover how machine learning platforms can benefit from an “invisible” abstraction. You’ll also learn more about why platform teams are using data streaming technologies for machine learning use cases.
4. Streaming Machine Learning and Exploration with Confluent and SymetryML (blog post) In this blog post, you’ll explore how to use a simple API to help your team migrate to streaming machine learning from batch machine learning. We’ll also cover how real-time exploration, paired with Apache Kafka®, empowers teams to build unique solutions that give them an edge.
5. Online Machine Learning on Streaming Data With River and Bytewax (recorded talk)
In this recorded talk, you’ll learn how to leverage River (a Python library for online machine learning) and Bytewax (an open source Python framework for building scalable data flows to process data streams) to build streaming applications on Kafka that use online machine learning techniques.

In the capital markets, the adage “time is money” applies even after the trade is made. Investors who want to gain quicker access to their funds are confined by a post-trade settlement process that still relies on batch processing.
Healthcare providers have long known the benefits of a single patient view (SPV). A clinician’s ability to securely access and act on patient data which spans disparate medical disciplines, departments, and locations is key to the effective provision of healthcare.
