Summary

The webinar focuses on guiding developers and architects through the process of building a RAG-enabled GenAI system using Confluent, Flink, and MongoDB. It highlights the challenges of incorporating tasks such as stream processing, connectivity to third-party systems, and scaling to production when working with data in motion, and suggests using Confluent for a comprehensive solution. The tutorial explains how to set up a data pipeline using Confluent Cloud and Platform, MongoDB Atlas, and ksqlDB for joining streams and enriching data. It emphasizes the advantages of using managed cloud services like MongoDB Atlas for flexibility and quick scalability, and demonstrates how to replicate Kafka topics between environments using Confluent Replicator. The tutorial also covers the setup of a self-managed environment with Docker to run the same data processes locally, bridging on-premises and cloud systems seamlessly. Finally, it introduces the availability of Confluent Platform 7.7 with enhanced features and discusses integrating Confluent with Amazon OpenSearch using OpenSearch Ingestion.
