The public sector includes many different areas. Some groups leverage cutting-edge technology, like military leverage. Others like the public administration are years or even decades behind. This blog series explores both edges to show how data in motion powered by Apache Kafka adds value for innovative new applications and modernizing legacy IT infrastructures. By Kai Waehner.
The article also contains information on:
- Real-time is mandatory for a smart city everywhere
- Low latency and 5G networks for (some) data streaming use cases
- Collaboration between government, city, and 3rd party via Open API
- Data in motion with Kafka for a connected and innovative smart city
Smart City is a vast topic. Many stakeholders are involved. Collaboration and Open APIs are critical for success. In most cases, governments work together with telco providers, infrastructure providers such as the cloud hyperscalers, and software vendors (including an event streaming platform like Kafka). Most valuable and innovative smart city use cases require data processing in real-time. The use cases require data integration, storage, and backpressure handling, and data correlation. Event Streaming is the ideal technology for these use cases. Good read!
