Building a real-time analytics dashboard with Streamlit, Apache Pinot, and Apache Kafka

In this session we will learn how to build our own real-time analytics application on top of a streaming data source using Apache Kafka, Apache Pinot, and Streamlit. Kafka is the de facto standard for real-time event streaming, Pinot is an OLAP database designed for ultra low latency analytics, and Streamlit is a Python based tool that makes it super easy to build data based apps. After introducing each of these tools, we’ll stream data into Kafka using its Python client, ingest that data into a Pinot real-time table, and write some basic queries using Pinot’s Python SDK. Once we’ve done that, we’ll bring everything together with an auto refreshing Streamlit dashboard so that we can see changes to the data as they happen. There will be lots of graphs and other visualisations!
