Ingesting Data from Apache Kafka to TimescaleDB
The Glue Conference (better known as GlueCon) is always a treat for me. I’ve been speaking there since 2012, and this year I presented a session explaining how I use StreamSets Data Collector to ingest content delivery network (CDN) data from compressed CSV files in S3 to MySQL for analysis, using the Kickfire API to turn IP addresses into company data. The slides are here, and I’ll write it up in a future blog post.
As well as speaking, I always enjoy the keynotes (shout out to Leah McGowen-Hare for an excellent presentation on inclusion!) and breakouts. In one of this year’s breakouts, Diana Hsieh, director of product management at Timescale, focused on the TimescaleDB time series database.
