Summary

Hands-on Flink Workshop: Implement Stream Processing is an upcoming workshop where participants will learn how to build a real-time AI-powered marketing personalization engine using Confluent and Databricks. The workshop aims to bridge the operational and analytical divide by providing a seamless highway for fueling AI with real-time, trusted data products. Participants will need to have a Confluent Cloud account, Databricks account, AWS CLI installed, Terraform, Docker Desktop, Git, and basic knowledge of cloud platforms, SQL, and streaming data concepts. The workshop will guide participants through the steps of setting up local environments, deploying cloud infrastructure, ingesting mock data, processing and enriching data with Apache Flink, streaming data products to Delta Lake with Tableflow, generating insights and creating targeted campaigns with Databricks, and cleaning up resources. By connecting Confluent with Databricks via Tableflow, participants can deploy an AI strategy that powers real-time analytics without the costs and headaches of complex data engineering.
