Gold abstract pattern for IBM Cloud Pak for Integration
The value of event streams

IBM Cloud Pak® for Integration uses the open source Apache Kafka-built event streaming platform of IBM® Event Streams from IBM to help you build smart applications that can react to events as they happen.
 
Handle mission-critical workloads through enhanced system connectivity, rich deployment and operations, and an event-driven architecture expertise.
How it's used 
Provide data Event streaming connects back-end systems and creates changing event streams to address data inaccessibility. New applications can subscribe to these event streams to build a local view of the data. Moving data closer to the application increases responsiveness.
Gain insights Leverage event streaming capabilities to connect your company’s myriad data sources to your data lake. For example, include click streams from partnering websites and transactions from sales registers to identify patterns and inform future marketing campaigns.
Adopt machine learning Event streams helps your company bring structured, real-time data together to feed into machine learning models. This enables you to make powerful predictions based on current events in your business and proactively respond to them.
