Data Streaming as the Backbone of Agentic AI with VP of Engineering at Confluent

Описание: About the Video - Agentic AI is reshaping how software is built — but without real-time, relevant, and governed data, agents won’t scale. Gaurav, VP of Engineering at Confluent, explains why data streaming platforms like Kafka and Flink are becoming the essential nervous system for autonomous agent ecosystems.

In this talk, he covers:

The rise of Agentic AI and the new architectural challenges
Why event-driven systems are the only scalable path forward
How Confluent enables real-time, secure, governed data flows across clouds and services
A real-world demo of automating SDR workflows with agents
Integration with leading platforms like AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, and vector DBs

👀 Whether you’re building multi-agent applications or scaling enterprise AI, this is the foundation you need.
