Talk: Building AI-Ready Infrastructure: Why Real-Time Data Streaming Matters
Abstract: As we move into an era where everybody's trying to use AI for everything, let's talk about the practical implications of trying to service AI requests in a modern data architecture. In order for your AI to do useful things, it needs access to up-to-date information.
We'll talk about some of the concepts for how to provide complete, up-to-date context to your AI agents, and do a demo of how to achieve this with Kafka and Flink.
