Background on using Confluent with Google Cloud
Apache Kafka® has become the de facto standard for reliable and scalable streaming infrastructures. AI/Machine learning and the Apache Kafka ecosystem are a great combination for training and deploying analytic models at scale. AI/Machine Learning/Deep Learning are showing up more and more in projects, but still feel like buzzwords and hype for science projects. See how to connect the dots! How are both related? How can they be combined to productionize Machine Learning models in mission-critical and scalable real time applications?
