What We Learned at Confluent's DSWT Sydney: Real Streaming Stories That Matter

Last week, the Cloud Shuttle team joined hundreds of data professionals at Confluent's Data Streaming World Tour 2025 – Sydney, a key stop in a global series focused on the future of real-time data. From financial services and agriculture to government and banking, Australian and New Zealand organisations are going beyond batch processing and rethinking how data flows across systems. This blog distills the most valuable lessons we took away from the event - covering the shift from batch to real-time, case studies from ASX, Bendigo Bank and LIC, deep dives into TableFlow and Apache Iceberg, and what all of this means for your own data architecture, costs, and future planning.
