Breaking Batch: Data Streaming In The Modern Data Landscape

Disruption remains perpetual. In 2025, technology leaders must urgently prepare for GenAI to become central to business tech, ensure IT buying decisions do not add to technical debt, and navigate the need for strategic decision-making that balances the big picture with market-level shifts. Customer experiences are being wholly reimagined, with apps driving an expectation of real-time responses. Many companies are shifting to a digital-first paradigm and completely reinventing their business models to survive and thrive. Today’s fastest-growing companies are those that can think strategically while responding to the minutiae of a market.

However, many organisations carry legacy architectures where the relational database is at the centre of the data infrastructure. This approach prioritises data at rest in a world where data in motion is increasingly essential. The database’s foundational role was merely to store data, with no notion of how to interconnect or react to activities happening elsewhere in the company. This has led to a conflict between technology capabilities and business expectations.

Join us, for an exclusive dinner event for industry leaders. Together, we will discuss how data streaming can address the growing tensions between legacy architecture and evolving business needs. This event will provide a unique opportunity to explore the latest technology, legislation and strategies related to this critical topic.

• How can organisations effectively balance legacy systems with innovation?
• What approaches are most effective for future-proofing architectures?
• The role of Apache Kafka and data streaming in the modern data landscape.

During the evening, we will also explore:
• Legislative considerations impacting the field.
• Strategies to modernise systems while staying aligned with business goals.
• Emerging technologies and trends in data streaming
• How to get your data to the right place, in the correct format, at the right time to build data products faster and unlock AI-related use cases
