Apache Kafka services

Apache Kafka is the cutting-edge technology that is being used by both public and private sectors. In our earlier blogs, we have talked about how Apache Kafka services is being used by many businesses for better performance. But, today we will talk about how the public sector is leveraging this event streaming technology to add value for innovative applications modernizing IT infrastructure. 

In this blog, we will discuss why the governments and public sector leverage event streaming for several use cases.

What is Apache Kafka?

A community distributed event streaming platform that is capable of handling trillions of events a day. Although it was initially conceived as a messaging queue, it has evolved from just being a messaging queue to an event streaming platform. 

Kafka is being used in many real-time applications and the public sector is one of them. Let’s learn more about it. 

The public sector is a broad pathway of use cases

Public sector covers so many different areas such as defense, law enforcement, national security, healthcare, public administration, police, judiciary and many more. 

Real-time data beats slow data in public sector

We can say that in the public sector, real time data beats slow data in almost every use case. The fact here is that the added values come from correlating the events from various sources. 

See this by example- the sensor data from the car is only valuable if an application correlates it with data from other vehicles. Emergency service requires a real-time alert in case of a crash. Everything happens in real-time.

Open API and partnership are necessary

Governments can build great applications, but in practice, they rely on external data from 3rd party applications.

Government along with cities needs to work together with various other stakeholders including carmakers, telcos, cloud providers, software providers etc. Standard and open APIs are necessary for successful cross-cutting projects. Apache Kafka is surely the standard for event streaming as it is an open, reliable and scalable platform. 

Data mesh for sharing events between government and 3rd party applications

Transportation services show the added value of data integration across stakeholders and processing real-time data. Have you seen a taxi ride map? It won’t help you if you see the position of each taxi on the map. You want to go into every single detail like estimated arrival time, estimated ride cost, time of arrival at destination, the car model and many more. 

This is only possible if you integrate and correlate the data from various interfaces like mapping services, weather service, all customers, all taxi drivers, and more.

Data in motion paradigm shift in the government services

Real-time beats slow data. It is always the case. It doesn’t matter if you talk about cutting-edge use cases in nation security or public administration. Event streaming is the biggest foundation towards this paradigm shift towards real-time data processing in the public sector.
