## Description

Do you find yourself bombarded with buzzwords and overwhelmed by the rapid emergence of new technologies? "Stream Processing" is a tech buzzword that has been around for some time but is still unfamiliar to many. 
Join this session to discover its potential in software systems. I will share insights from Apache Flink, Apache Beam, Google Dataflow, and my experiences at Bol.com (the biggest e-commerce platform in the Netherlands) as we cover:

- Stream Processing overview: main concepts and features
- Apache Beam vs. Spring Boot comparison
Key Considerations for using Stream Processing
- Learning strategies to navigate this evolving landscape.
