Using a Raspberry Pi and a powerful trio of open-source technologies—Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg—learn how to build a custom on-air sign to signal when you're on a call and discover how this same scaffolding can be scaled for millions of users.

Have piping-hot, real-time data in Apache Kafka® but want to chill it down into Apache Iceberg™ tables? Let’s see how we can craft the perfect cup of “Iced Kaf-fee” for you!

While many of us have adapted to work from home life, one major problem remains: finding an easy way to keep folks in your home away from your workspace when you’re on an important call. Dust off your Raspberry Pi––let’s build a custom on-air sign with Apache Kafka®, Apache Flink®, and Apache Iceberg™!

Apache Iceberg™ made great advancements going from Table Format V1 to Table Format V2, introducing features like position deletes, advanced metrics, and cleaner metadata abstractions. But with Table Format V3 on the horizon, Iceberg users have even more to look forward to.

Be a better plant parent and build a practical, event-driven pipeline with Raspberry Pi and Apache Kafka! Soil moisture readings are streamed into Kafka and transformed, driving real-time alerts. Learn how ksqlDB and Kafka Connect made this pipeline possible as we dive in and get our hands dirty!
