This document discusses building an IoT Kafka pipeline using MemSQL in under 5 minutes. It begins with an overview of IoT, Kafka, and operational data warehouses. It then discusses MemSQL and how it functions as an operational data warehouse by continuously loading and querying data in real-time. The document demonstrates launching a MemSQL cluster, creating schemas and pipelines to ingest, transform, persist and analyze IoT data from Kafka. It emphasizes MemSQL's ability to handle different data types and scales from IoT at high throughput with low latency.
