KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2025

Building ML systems that operate on real-time data streams is no easy feat, especially when dealing with complex messaging systems, scaling requirements, and the need for seamless inference. At Intuit, we saw firsthand how these challenges slowed down our ML teams and hindered innovation. That’s why we created Numaflow, a Kubernetes-native open-source platform that empowers teams to easily connect to streaming sources, apply transformations, and run inference at scale—without the typical overhead. In this talk, we’ll share how Numaflow enhances the developer experience, reduces boilerplate, and accelerates deployment of ML workflows. Whether you're a data scientist, ML engineer, or platform builder, this session will offer practical insights into running real-time inference on streaming data, the Intuit way.
