With a growing amount of data flowing between sources, applications and users, solid streaming technologies are now a must when building cloud-native data driven applications.

One such technology lifting data driven applications off the ground is Apache Pulsar - originally created by the folks at Yahoo! Apache Pulsar is an open source, cloud-native, distributed messaging and streaming platform that is able to handle millions of messages per second across millions of topics - all while providing the flexibility and manageability needed by developers today.

Join our very first workshop looking at bringing streaming to Apache Cassandra thanks to Pulsar! We will introduce you to Pulsar’s unique architecture and message management, and you will be getting hands-on with it’s streaming and queuing capabilities.

Why Attend

You might think this is just another workshop. Think again! We do workshops differently - if you attend live you will get the chance to win some of our special Cassandra Community Swag. We will also offer you the choice of either:

1) a voucher that entitles you to take the Apache Cassandra™ certification exam for FREE! These are normally priced at $145 each!

OR

2) $300 credit to use on Astra - our Cloud-native Cassandra-as-a-Service platform. The perfect place to practice your new found Cassandra knowledge!

* In order to get the FREE certification voucher OR the credit, you need to attend the workshop LIVE and complete 1 of the hands-on exercises. You cannot receive both giveaways. *
