The Stream September 2022

Stream processing is defining a new world for organizations that want to be able to use and make sense of data in the moment it is created. Unfortunately, this leading-edge technology is not easily and broadly understood, and even less easily wrangled into a cohesive, performant data pipeline.

In the Gartner market survey, “Adopt Stream Data Integration to Meet Your Real-Time Data Integration and Analytics Requirements,” the research company found that “In our annual survey for the data integration tools market, 47% of organizations reported that they need streaming data to build a digital business platform, yet only 12% of those organizations reported that they currently integrate streaming data for their data and analytics requirements.”

That means that just 5.6% of companies are actually harnessing the power of streaming data to generate immediate insightspower ML capabilities or feed fresh data back into their products. Looking at this on the adoption curve, this represents just the beginning: the so-called “innovators.”

The next chunk of companies to use stream processing — the 41.4% of companies who would fit either into an “early adopters” or “early majority” category — are aware they want and need to be able to use this technology, but can’t easily do so.

It’s tricky. Combining Kafka, Kubernetes, and many other newer technologies is not for the faint of heart (or light of wallet). Large-scale companies that have already deeply invested in developer resources here such as John DeereBooking.com and Alibaba are leading the charge, but where does that leave midmarket and digital-first companies with fewer resources?

This month, we’re connecting with organizations of all sizes and industries by hosting community meetups in London, Berlin, Munich and Austin, speaking at events like Big Data London, and joining the Kafka user community at Current in Austin in early October. Our goal is to bring the power of stream processing to everyone by building shared knowledge, understanding and great tools to democratize data stream processing. Join us.

Streaming-first infrastructure for real-time machine learning

A streaming infrastructure can improve ML prediction latency and continual learning. Chip Huyen and Anthony Alford explain why an event-driven microservices architecture is a better choice for using continual learning than a REST-based architecture.
