Stream, Store, Visualize: Fast-track Real-Time Analytics the OSS Way

Thu, 24 April

Many developers struggle with the complexity of setting up streaming analytics—wrestling with configurations, compatibility issues, and integration challenges. However, choosing the right open-source tools can drastically reduce setup time, enabling real-time analytics pipelines in minutes, not weeks.

This session features a live demonstration of building a complete streaming pipeline on a laptop, using Apache Iceberg for storage and Streamlit for real-time visualization. Attendees will gain hands-on experience in integrating data sources, configuring storage, and creating dashboards, all within a local development setup that mirrors production architecture.

Key Takeaways

  • Configure a local streaming development environment.
  • Integrate various data sources and sinks efficiently.
  • Implement Apache Iceberg for scalable data storage.
  • Build real-time dashboards using Streamlit.
  • Understand production deployment patterns for real-time analytics.

Target Audience

This session is ideal for data engineers, software developers, and AI practitioners who want to build real-time analytics pipelines using open-source technologies. It is also valuable for architects and DevOps engineers interested in optimizing data infrastructure for low-latency, high-throughput analytics.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of SQL and Python.
