Processing data in real time is a _process_, as some might say. Angela Chu (Solution Architect, Databricks) and Caio Moreno (Senior Cloud Solution Architect, Microsoft) explain how to integrate Azure, Databricks, and Confluent to build real-time data pipelines that enable you to ingest data, perform analytics, and extract insights from data at hand. They share about where to start within the Apache Kafka® ecosystem and how to maximize the tools and components that it offers using fully managed services like Confluent Cloud for data in motion.
