Fast Data architectures are the answer to the increasing need for the enterprise to process and analyze continuous streams of data to accelerate decision making and become reactive to the particular characteristics of their market. To address the challenges of never-ending datasets, Spark offers two API's: The mature Spark Streaming, and its younger sibling, Structured Streaming. But how do you know which one will best suit your needs, as well as which other streaming engines out there to consider like Akka Streams, Flink and Kafka?
In this webinar by Gerard Maas, senior engineer on Lightbend's Fast Data Platform team and co-author of the recent O’Reilly book Learning Spark Streaming, we walk through an introduction of both APIs. At the end of this presentation, you will have a bit more context for guiding your selection of the the right one for your application.
