Talk Title:  Using FLaNK with InfluxDB for EdgeAI IoT at Scale

Timothy from StreamNative take you on a hands-on deep-dive on using Pulsar, Apache NiFi + Edge Flow Manager + MiniFi Agents with Apache MXNet, OpenVino, TensorFlow Lite, and other Deep Learning Libraries on the actual edge devices including Raspberry Pi with Movidius 2, Google Coral TPU and NVidia Jetson Nano. The team run deep learning models on the edge devices and send images, and capture real-time GPS and sensor data. Their low-coding IoT applications provide easy edge routing, transformation, data acquisition and alerting before they decide what data to stream real-time to their data space. These edge applications classify images and sensor readings real-time at the edge and then send Deep Learning results to Flink SQL and Apache NiFi for transformation, parsing, enrichment, querying, filtering and merging data to InfluxDB.
