  Apache Kafka is a massively scalable message queue used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications that are high-performing and fault tolerant. This presentation will introduce Kafka from the perspective of a mere mortal Oracle DBA and share the experience of (and challenges with) getting events from relational databases to Kafka. We’ll demonstrate…
