Evaluating a real-time platform usually means picking one entry point, whether that’s a database, a streaming pipeline, or an AI agent framework, and hoping it fits before investing the time to set it up. Most teams don’t have a spare afternoon to provision infrastructure just to find out.
This video is a guided, live walkthrough of the Volt Developer Hub’s three guided paths: Kafka Developer, Database Developer, and AI Agent Builder. Each one takes you from setup to a working real-time application in under five minutes, backed by a browser sandbox running against a live cluster, with no install and no credit card required for any of them.
All three paths sit on the same foundation. Volt collapses ingestion, storage, and decision logic into a single transactional layer, so the Kafka Developer path connects to an existing Kafka cluster without re-architecting the pipeline, the Database Developer path runs familiar SQL and stored procedures directly in the browser, and the AI Agent Builder path connects any MCP-capable agent to live transactional state with a single command.
For developers, architects, and technical evaluators trying to figure out which path matches what they’re building, this video is the fastest way to see all three in action before committing to one. Watch it above, then head into the Developer Hub and try the path that fits your stack for yourself.
