Topic:

In this talk, I will walk through how someone can set up and run continuous SQL queries against Kafka topics utilizing Apache Flink. We will walk through creating Kafka topics, schemas, and publishing data.

We will then cover consuming Kafka data, joining Kafka topics, and inserting new events into Kafka topics as they arrive. This basic overview will show hands-on techniques, tips, and examples of how to do this.
