How Grab Shrunk Real-Time Queries from 5 Minutes to 1 with FlinkSQL and Kafka

With SQL as the interface, analysts and engineers can now explore streams and deploy pipelines in under 10 minutes.

Fellow Data Tinkerers!

Today we will look at how Grab made real-time processing faster for its users.

But before that, I wanted to share with you what you could unlock if you share Data Tinkerer with just 1 more person.

There are 100+ resources to learn all things data (science, engineering, analysis). It includes videos, courses, projects and can be filtered by tech stack (Python, SQL, Spark and etc), skill level (Beginner, Intermediate and so on) provider name or free/paid. So if you know other people who like staying up to date on all things data, please share Data Tinkerer with them!

Now, with that out of the way, let’s get to real-time processing at Grab!
