Apache Kafka: meet Apache Druid DART

Druid and Kafka have been best buddies for 10 years, courting and sparking their way around data analytics parties to excess.

Join to see Druid's DART engine get the slideware treatment, and a Kafka + DART-powered Druid + Grafana analytics pipeline working, complete with step-by-step instructions to make your own.
