Listen along and learn a bit more about how they efficiently solve this issue ‡️

I sat down with Roman Kolesnev and learned that Streambased is building out a product that solves this problem exactly! Allowing your #apacheKafka data to be indexed and available immediately (without copying) and queryable through databases, open table formats like #apacheIceberg, or file systems.

But when the time comes to use your infinite data, how do you find the *right* data? #apacheKafka is a log. And even with smart partitioning, you still have to re-stream most of the data in order to find the specific account or key that you're looking for. πŸ”Ž

πŸ”™ Back Fill. Use the history of events to rebuild state in other applications/databases.
😰 Anxiety? You don't quite know what you'll do with that data now, but you might need it someday!

πŸ“Š Time Travel Analytics. Having the entire history of data means you can easily go back to any time period and analyze those events for fraud, debugging, etc.
πŸ“‘ Auditing and Regulatory. Certain industries/companies are required to retain data for a specific length of time

Infinite storage in #apacheKafka is all the rage. But what exactly is your plan when you decide to keep years' worth of data in Kafka topics? πŸ€”

From what I've seen, folks opt in for infinite storage for a few reasons:

Not convinced? Let's hear from Lester Martin, #starburst, on why else you should care and give #apacheNifi a try πŸ‘‡

What about from a #Snowflake perspective?

#apacheNifi is the foundation for Snowflake's data integration service, #openFlow. It's especially useful for multi-modal datasets that you might need for your #AI workflows.

#apacheNifi is an #openSource data workflow tool that's great for #etl, #dataStreaming ingestion, and #dataProcessing pipelines. Its drag-and-drop, no-code interface that makes it easy for developers and #dataEngineering folks to get started.
