Social media platforms handle an immense volume of messages from millions of users daily. With trending topics constantly shifting, it can be challenging for companies to keep up. A streaming system can play a vital role in this process by allowing companies to stay updated on trending topics in real-time.

To monitor trends, social media platforms like Twitter rely on hashtags to categorize posts. The frequency of a hashtag's use reflects audience engagement. When a hashtag is used frequently, it signals a topic's popularity. By tracking the usage of a hashtag over time, companies can gauge whether interest in a topic is growing or declining.

In this webinar, David and Emily will demonstrate how to retrieve Twitter events related to hash-tags from a data generator, ingest it into StreamNative Serverless topic and read it in RisingWave to perform real-time events processing to extract key insights.
