Aiven: The Future of IOT: Comcast, Aiven, and Home Automation Webinar

In this webinar with Comcast’s Andrew Gerhold, Aiven’s David Esposito brings IoT to the real world as they discuss the infrastructure challenges Gerhold faced when building out the IoT concept for Xfinity Home and how he was able to overcome them with the help of Aiven.



Specifically, they will discuss how Comcast was able to accomplish an end-to-end latency of sub 50 milliseconds while supporting millions of devices operating in unpredictable environments. They’ll also cover what considerations need to be made for making any IoT concept work at scale, how Apache Kafka fits into the equation, and what the future holds.
