This session will present how to connect to the Twitter Streaming API and process and analyse the tweets in real-time by using Oracle Event Processing. We will see how typical analytics on a such social media data can be done directly on the event stream using Java and/or the Continuous Query Language (CQL). How do we best store the results, so that they can be made available continously to a dashboard for presentation will be shown as well. Additionally the so-called Lambda architecture will be presented, where such an event streaming solution plays a critical part, in combination with a Big Data batch processing layer.
