Rethinking Real-Time: What Today’s Streaming Leaders Know That Legacy Vendors Don’t
Tuesday, September 30, 2025 1:00PM Eastern
Many organizations claim to be operating in real time. In reality, most aren’t. They’ve invested in Kafka, built a few streaming jobs, and maybe wired up a near real-time dashboard—but the architecture still struggles under modern demands.
Real-time isn’t just about speed. It’s about decisions. And legacy platforms that were built for throughput a decade ago often introduce more complexity than clarity today.
In this session, you'll hear from industry experts and analysts about how leading organizations are rethinking their real-time stacks to meet the demands of AI, multi-cloud, and business-critical responsiveness. We'll unpack GigaOm's 2025 Radar findings and examine what sets modern architectures apart.
We'll cover:
Why "streaming at scale" doesn't always scale in practice experimentation, real-time ML, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for GenAI.
Key insights from the GigaOm Radar Report
What to prioritize when building for real-time signal, not just data
How leaders are simplifying complexity and unlocking AI readiness
If you’re questioning the limits of your current stack—or rethinking what real-time really means—this is your conversation.
