Real-time graph analytics with Redpanda Iceberg Topics and PuppyGraph

Redpanda has launched its native Apache Iceberg integration called Iceberg Topics, aimed at enhancing stream data processing by allowing users to access the latest data in their data lakes for real-time analytics. Alongside this, PuppyGraph, a graph computing engine that requires no ETL, is the first to integrate with Redpanda, facilitating high-speed graph queries directly on data lakes. This integration allows seamless, no-ETL real-time graph analytics by using Redpanda's Iceberg Topics, which stores data in both streaming log and table formats, making it accessible for SQL queries through various analytics tools. The blog post provides a step-by-step guide for integrating these technologies to analyze financial transaction data, showcasing the potential of this streamlined approach for real-time graph analysis.
