Session Details
In this one day training session, we look in detail at how SQL Server Machine Learning Services and External Languages work and what you can do with it. We see how to use R, Python, Java, and C# from SQL Server.
We look at how it "hangs together" under the covers, and we look at how you can put together a complete machine learning pipeline with SQL Server ML Services.
Some may think that SQL Server ML Services is purely for data scientists, but in this workshop, we also see how a database developer/DBA can get a lot of benefits from SQL Server ML Services.
3 things you'll get out of this session
Speakers
Niels Berglund's previous sessions
Analyze Billions of Rows of Data in Real-Time Using Azure Data Explorer
In this demo-filled session we get an overview of Azure Data Explorer, which is a fast, fully managed data analytics service for real-time analysis on large volumes of data streaming from applications, websites, IoT devices, and more. We look at how to ingest data, as well as query in real-time against billions of rows with sub-second latency.
ksqlDB - The Real-Time Streaming Database
In this demo filled session we see how we use ksqlDB to gain real-time insights into streaming data. We look at push/pull queries, User Defined Functions, tables and streams.
Set Your SQL Server Data Free with the Use of Kafka
In this talk we look at how we can stream data from SQL Server to the de facto standard for streaming: Apache Kafka.
