How does Estuary help with streaming data from Kafka into MotherDuck? 🤔

Estuary (my content partner) will be hosting a webinar next week to show you how it can help reduce cost and complexity in working with Kafka. 

I'm no Kafka expert but this one definitely sounds interesting to learn about. 

If you're an existing Kafka user, this webinar is a must-attend.
