Nowadays, data is the most valuable product a company has, and being able to work over it with flexibility, security, and reliability, to get the most out of it, is a must. Becoming a data-driven company is not simple but is key to success.

In this online session, we covered the basics of how Kafka can help us during this journey. We presented different examples to explain Kafka's capabilities and explored how to leverage high-level tools such as Kafka Streams API and ksqlDB to add more brainpower to our data in motion.
