In life, there are certainly situations where only ANOVA will do. However, many times valuable insights can be found with a much simpler approach. Whether it’s direct analysis or data format transformations, Kafka Streams has got you covered.

In this talk we will cover the core features of Kafka Streams that enable elementary analytics and data transformation.

Including:
– Windowing and window types
– Aggregate functions
– Continuous to discrete mappings

Armed with this information, your understanding of conducting elementary analytics in Kafka Streams will improve exponentially with no chance of regression.
