The combination of real-time streaming analytics and the Internet of Things is gaining momentum in the data and analytics industry. As enterprises widely adopt Apache Spark and Apache Spark Streaming, IT teams are challenged to provide data scientists, developers, business analysts and operations teams with the tools to make Apache Spark Streaming an easy-to-use, robust, scalable and multi-tenant service.

An overview of the stream processing landscape;

The need for a streaming platform integrated with the Hadoop data lake;

A visual, integrated development environment approach for building applications on Spark Streaming;

The use of various Spark Streaming operators in sample applications (e.g., Spark SQL, Window, MLlib, Join, custom Scala code, etc.); and

Real-time dashboards, application deployment and monitoring.

"Adoption of Apache Spark Streaming is on the rise, but many enterprises feel the need for visual tools for rapid application development so they can launch and manage production grade use cases quickly with their current talent pool and not have to wait for deep Spark coding ability to be developed or hired," said Venugopal. "The purpose of this webinar is to enable the Spark user community to accelerate their streaming analytics projects. For more info: www.streamanalytix.com
