Avro, Parquet or JSON? What to use and, more importantly, how to manage schemas

In this session, we'll review the differences between the most important Big Data file formats for Event Streaming, their pros and cons and how to choose the best fit for a specific use case. We'll also take a look to the proper architecture to provide greater control over data quality using Schema Management. Need to add a new column to a downstream database? You don’t need an involved change process and at least 4 meetings to coordinate 15 teams. Join us to learn how it's possible to reduce operational complexity in the application development cycle.
