Why choose pure Python over Kafka for real-time data?

October 17, 2024
LinkedIn Live Webinar

While Java has typically been used for data processing with Kafka, Python is now leading the way in data engineering. But do Kafka wrappers really make sense for Python-based real-time processing?

In our webinar, we’ll discuss how tools like Bytewax and GlassFlow provide a simpler, more scalable alternative to Kafka, making real-time pipelines easier to build and manage for Python developers and data engineers.
