The tutorial discusses the process of streaming data from Redpanda, a Kafka API-compatible platform, to Apache Pinot, an open-source software for online analytical processing (OLAP) with low latency. By using Docker, users can containerize both Redpanda and Pinot, making it easier to manage and integrate the two systems for efficient data streaming. The guide walks through setting up a Redpanda cluster, creating a topic, and then running Pinot, followed by configuring a real-time table in Pinot to receive data from Redpanda. It also includes steps for schema and table creation in Pinot, as well as ingesting JSON flight data from 2014 into Pinot via Redpanda, allowing for SQL queries that analyze flight patterns. This integration demonstrates the capability to handle and analyze large volumes of data quickly, highlighting Pinot's strengths in real-time data querying and Redpanda's reliability and speed as a streaming platform.
