Speaker & Workshop Details: Sandon Jacobs, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent From Crypto Streams to AI-Powered Predictions: Predictions Build Real-Time Intelligence with Confluent’s Data Streaming Platform, built on Apache Kafka®, Apache Flink®, and Apache Iceberg®. Workshop Overview In this 2-hour hands-on workshop, you'll build an end-to-end streaming analytics pipeline that captures live cryptocurrency prices, processes them in real-time, and uses AI to forecast the future. You will start by ingesting a live data feed of crypto data (courtesy of Coingecko Rest API) into Apache Kafka using Kafka Connect. Then tame that chaos with Apache Flink's stream processing superpowers. Next, we'll "freeze" those streams into queryable Apache Iceberg tables using Tableflow. Finally, we'll try to predict the future by using Flink's built-in AI capabilities to analyze historical patterns and forecast where prices might head next. No prior experience with Kafka, Flink, or Iceberg required! Just bring your curiosity and a laptop! What You'll Learn How to set up and manage a Kafka cluster in Confluent Cloud Build and deploy Flink SQL jobs for real-time analytics Convert streams to query-ready Iceberg tables with Tableflow Run analytics in DuckDB Apply AI/ML forecasting directly inside your Flink pipeline What You'll Build Stream live crypto data into Kafka using Kafka Connect Transform and enrich data in motion using Flink’s streaming queries “Freeze” those flowing insights into Iceberg tables via Tableflow Query and analyze it all in DuckDB Use Flink AI to forecast price trends Technical Prerequisites: To make sure you can get hands on during this workshop, please make sure the following are installed on your system (Make sure your bring your laptops!)
