Yah Tim's a legend, someone I was able to work with not too long ago. I watch all his videos, no matter the topic because he's amazing. Built for this! :)

Great presentation Tim 👍

Thanks Tim. True Master of taking very complicated concepts and making them easy to understand.

[@MrRandomg23]

Great to see Tim back, the confluent videos are no longer the same without you, as always so informative and you make these complicated concepts so simple

[@ronyarmon210]

Thanks Tim, Great explanation, connecting the art of indexing at the back end with user experience up front.

Great Video!

[@JoveZhong]

Cool video. I am also wondering how this is shot? Is that a special whiteboard to reverse the handwriting?

[@leiysky7982]

I'm wondering about it, too. Maybe there is a totally transparent wall?

[@ThrdCardofDeath]

@@leiysky7982 If I recall correctly it’s called lightboard. He mentions it in his product demos on KZbin when he worked at Confluent.

@@ThrdCardofDeath Thanks! I've seen the tech for times but had no idea what it is. It seems a light board studio is necessary to make such a video.

[@StarTree]

Thanks! We all have this guy to thank for the invention, and open sourcing, of the lightboard :) www.lightboard.info

he's writing on glass from his perspective, then the video is flipped.

I don't understand. Sorry. If you can do analytics with Kafka streams or something similar and sink the data to a database. So I can have fresh data and fast access. I am sure I am missing something

Unnecessarily verbose...7 minutes in and still does not get to the point.
