Confluent is hosting a Stream Data Hackathon on April 25th in San Francisco, focused on building real-time data pipelines using Apache Kafka's new features, Kafka Connect for data integration and Kafka Streams for distributed, fault tolerant stream processing. The event aims to help the community build connectors and learn how to build Kafka Streams applications. Participants can win prizes such as lunch with Kafka co-creator Jay Kreps or gift cards. Registration is open to anyone interested in participating.
