Multi-tenancy allows a single instance of software to serve multiple customers. It is an architecture where a single instance of the software runs on a server and serves multiple tenants. This allows for efficient use of computing resources and reduces maintenance costs as updates only need to be applied to a single code base.
Building an Event-oriented Data Platform with Kafka, Eric Sammer confluent
While we frequently talk about how to build interesting products on top of machine and event data, the reality is that collecting, organizing, providing access to, and managing this data is where most people get stuck. Many organizations understand the use cases around their data – fraud detection, quality of service and technical operations, user behavior analysis, for example – but are not necessarily data infrastructure experts. In this session, we’ll follow the flow of data through an end to end system built to handle tens of terabytes an hour of event-oriented data, providing real time streaming, in-memory, SQL, and batch access to this data. We’ll go into detail on how open source systems such as Hadoop, Kafka, Solr, and Impala/Hive are actually stitched together; describe how and where to perform data transformation and aggregation; provide a simple and pragmatic way of managing event metadata; and talk about how applications built on top of this platform get access to data and extend its functionality.
Attendees will leave this session knowing not just which open source projects go into a system such as this, but how they work together, what tradeoffs and decisions need to be addressed, and how to present a single general purpose data platform to multiple applications. This session should be attended by data infrastructure engineers and architects planning, building, or maintaining similar systems.
Stream Processing with Kafka in Uber, Danny Yuan confluent
The session will discuss how Uber evolved its stream processing system to handle a number of use cases in Uber Marketplace, with a focus on how Apache Kafka and Apache Samza played an important role in building a robust and efficient data pipeline. The use cases include but not limited to realtime aggregation of geospatial time series, computing key metrics as well as forecasting of marketplace dynamics, and extracting patterns from various event streams. The session will present how Kafka and Samza are used to meet the requirements of the use cases, what additional tools are needed, and lessons learned from operating the pipeline.
Introducing Kafka Streams: Large-scale Stream Processing with Kafka, Neha Nar...confluent
The concept of stream processing has been around for a while and most software systems continuously transform streams of inputs into streams of outputs. Yet the idea of directly modeling stream processing in infrastructure systems is just coming into its own after a few decades on the periphery.
At its core, stream processing is simple: read data in, process it, and maybe emit some data out. So why are there so many stream processing frameworks that all define their own terminology? And are the components of each even comparable? Why do I need to know about spouts or DStreams just to process a simple sequence of records? Depending on your application’s requirements, you may not need a framework.
This talk will be delivered by one of the creators of the popular stream data systems Apache Kafka and will abstract away the details of individual frameworks while describing the key features they provide. These core features include scalability and parallelism through data partitioning, fault tolerance and event processing order guarantees, support for stateful stream processing, and handy stream processing primitives such as windowing. Based on our experience building and scaling Kafka to handle streams that captured hundreds of billions of records per day — this presentation will help you understand how to map practical data problems to stream processing and how to write applications that process streams of data at scale.
Siphon - Near Real Time Databus Using Kafka, Eric Boyd, Nitin Kumarconfluent
Siphon is a highly available and reliable distributed pub/sub system built using Apache Kafka. It is used to publish, discover and subscribe to near real-time data streams for operational and product intelligence. Siphon is used as a “Databus” by a variety of producers and subscribers in Microsoft, and is compliant with security and privacy requirements. It has a built-in Auditing and Quality control. This session will provide an overview of the use of Kafka at Microsoft, and then deep dive into Siphon. We will describe an important business scenario and talk about the technical details of the system in the context of that scenario. We will also cover the design and implementation of the service, the scale, and real world production experiences from operating the service in the Microsoft cloud environment.
When it Absolutely, Positively, Has to be There: Reliability Guarantees in Ka...confluent
In the financial industry, losing data is unacceptable. Financial firms are adopting Kafka for their critical applications. Kafka provides the low latency, high throughput, high availability, and scale that these applications require. But can it also provide complete reliability? As a system architect, when asked “Can you guarantee that we will always get every transaction,” you want to be able to say “Yes” with total confidence.
In this session, we will go over everything that happens to a message – from producer to consumer, and pinpoint all the places where data can be lost – if you are not careful. You will learn how developers and operation teams can work together to build a bulletproof data pipeline with Kafka. And if you need proof that you built a reliable system – we’ll show you how you can build the system to prove this too.
Deploying Kafka at Dropbox, Mark Smith, Sean Fellowsconfluent
At Dropbox we are currently handling approximately 10,000,000 messages per second at peak across our handful of Kafka clusters. The largest of which has hit throughputs of 7,000,000 per second (~30 Gbps) on only 20 nodes. We’ll walk you through the steps we took to get where we are, the design that works for us — and those that didn’t. We’ll talk about the tooling we had to build and what we want to see exist.
We’ll dive deeper into configuration and provide a blueprint you can follow. We’ll talk about the trials and tribulations of using Kafka — including ways we’ve set our clusters on fire, ways we’ve lost data, ways we’ve turned our hairs gray, and ways we’ve heroically saved the day for our users. Finally, we’ll spend time on some of the work we’re doing to handle consumer coordination across our many different systems and to integrate Kafka into a well established corporate infrastructure. (I.e., making Kafka “”play nice”” with everybody.)

Espresso Database Replication with Kafka, Tom Quiggleconfluent
The initial deployment of Espresso relies on MySQL’s built-in mechanism for Master-Slave replication. Storage hosts running MySQL masters service HTTP requests to store and retrieve documents, while hosts running slave replicas remain mostly idle. Since replication is at the MySQL instance level, masters and slaves must contain the exact same partitions – precluding flexible and dynamic partition placement and migration within the cluster.
Espresso is migrating to a new deployment topology where each Storage Node may host a combination of master and slave partitions; thus distributing the application requests equally across all available hardware resources. This topology requires per-partition replication between master and slave nodes. Kafka will be used as the transport for replication between partitions.
For use as the replication stream for the source-of-truth data store for LinkedIn’s most valuable data, Kafka must be as reliable as MySQL replication. The session will cover Kafka configuration options to ensure highly reliable, in-order message delivery. Additionally, the application logic maintains state both within the Kafka event stream and externally to detect message re-delivery, out of order delivery, and messages inserted out-of-band. These application protocols to guarantee high fidelity will be discussed.
Introduction To Streaming Data and Stream Processing with Apache Kafkaconfluent
Modern businesses have data at their core, and this data is changing continuously. How can we harness this torrent of continuously changing data in real time? The answer is stream processing, and one system that has become a core hub for streaming data is Apache Kafka.
This presentation will give a brief introduction to Apache Kafka and describe its usage as a platform for streaming data. It will explain how Kafka serves as a foundation for both streaming data pipelines and applications that consume and process real-time data streams. It will introduce some of the newer components of Kafka that help make this possible, including Kafka Connect, a framework for capturing continuous data streams, and Kafka Streams, a lightweight stream processing library.

Fundamentals of Stream Processing with Apache Beam, Tyler Akidau, Frances Perry confluent
Apache Beam (unified Batch and strEAM processing!) is a new Apache incubator project. Originally based on years of experience developing Big Data infrastructure within Google (such as MapReduce, FlumeJava, and MillWheel), it has now been donated to the OSS community at large.
Come learn about the fundamentals of out-of-order stream processing, and how Beam’s powerful tools for reasoning about time greatly simplify this complex task. Beam provides a model that allows developers to focus on the four important questions that must be answered by any stream processing pipeline:
What results are being calculated?
Where in event time are they calculated?
When in processing time are they materialized?
How do refinements of results relate?
Furthermore, by cleanly separating these questions from runtime characteristics, Beam programs become portable across multiple runtime environments, both proprietary (e.g., Google Cloud Dataflow) and open-source (e.g., Flink, Spark, et al).
Kafka Connect: Real-time Data Integration at Scale with Apache Kafka, Ewen Ch...confluent
Many companies are adopting Apache Kafka to power their data pipelines, including LinkedIn, Netflix, and Airbnb. Kafka’s ability to handle high throughput real-time data makes it a perfect fit for solving the data integration problem, acting as the common buffer for all your data and bridging the gap between streaming and batch systems.
However, building a data pipeline around Kafka today can be challenging because it requires combining a wide variety of tools to collect data from disparate data systems. One tool streams updates from your database to Kafka, another imports logs, and yet another exports to HDFS. As a result, building a data pipeline can take significant engineering effort and has high operational overhead because all these different tools require ongoing monitoring and maintenance. Additionally, some of the tools are simply a poor fit for the job: the fragmented nature of the data integration tools ecosystem lead to creative but misguided solutions such as misusing stream processing frameworks for data integration purposes.
We describe the design and implementation of Kafka Connect, Kafka’s new tool for scalable, fault-tolerant data import and export. First we’ll discuss some existing tools in the space and why they fall short when applied to data integration at large scale. Next, we will explore Kafka Connect’s design and how it compares to systems with similar goals, discussing key design decisions that trade off between ease of use for connector developers, operational complexity, and reuse of existing connectors. Finally, we’ll discuss how standardizing on Kafka Connect can ultimately lead to simplifying your entire data pipeline, making ETL into your data warehouse and enabling stream processing applications as simple as adding another Kafka connector.

Strata+Hadoop 2017 San Jose: Lessons from a year of supporting Apache Kafkaconfluent
The number of deployments of Apache Kafka at enterprise scale has greatly increased in the years since Kafka’s original development in 2010. Along with this rapid growth has come a wide variety of use cases and deployment strategies that transcend what Kafka’s creators imagined when they originally developed the technology. As the scope and reach of streaming data platforms based on Apache Kafka has grown, the need to understand monitoring and troubleshooting strategies has as well.
Dustin Cote and Ryan Pridgeon share their experience supporting Apache Kafka at enterprise-scale and explore monitoring and troubleshooting techniques to help you avoid pitfalls when scaling large-scale Kafka deployments.
Topics include:
- Effective use of JMX for Kafka
- Tools for preventing small problems from becoming big ones
- Efficient architectures proven in the wild
- Finding and storing the right information when it all goes wrong

Distributed stream processing with Apache Kafkaconfluent
A modern business operates 24/7 and generates data continuously. Shouldn’t we process it continuously too?
A rich ecosystem of real-time data-processing frameworks, tools and systems has been forming around Apache Kafka that allows data to be processed continuously as it occurs. Jay Kreps will introduce Kafka and explain why it has become the de facto standard for streaming data. He will draw on practical experience building stream-processing applications to discuss the difference between architectures and the challenges each presents. Jay will then outline the Kafka Streams API, which offers new stream processing functionality in Kafka, and explain how it helps tame some of the complexity in real-time architectures.

What's new in Confluent 3.2 and Apache Kafka 0.10.2 confluent
With the introduction of connect and streams API in 2016, Apache Kafka is becoming the defacto solution for anyone looking to build a streaming platform. The community continues to add additional capabilities to make it the complete solution for streaming data.
Join us as we review the latest additions in Apache Kafka 0.10.2. In addition, we’ll cover what’s new in Confluent Enterprise 3.2 that makes it possible for running Kafka at scale.
Power of the Log: LSM & Append Only Data Structuresconfluent
This talk is about the beauty of sequential access and append-only data structures. We'll do this in the context of a little-known paper entitled “Log Structured Merge Trees”. LSM describes a surprisingly counterintuitive approach to storing and accessing data in a sequential fashion. It came to prominence in Google's Big Table paper and today, the use of Logs, LSM and append-only data structures drive many of the world's most influential storage systems: Cassandra, HBase, RocksDB, Kafka and more. Finally, we'll look at how the beauty of sequential access goes beyond database internals, right through to how applications communicate, share data and scale.
Never at Rest - IoT and Data Streaming at British Gas Connected Homes, Paul M...confluent
Connected Homes is at the forefront of IoT in the UK. Spun out of British Gas in 2012, its expanding Hive IoT product range & its access to the largest pool of UK smart meter data uniquely positions it as a key player in the UK market. We will share with you how Apache Kafka has become a strategic technology used throughout the business and explore some of our use cases. We will give a brief overview of Connected Homes and why Apache Kafka is being adopted in teams for operational, feature and realtime data science purposes. Deeper technical insights will be shown around smart meter customers and how we use Apache Kafka to provide realtime alerting.
Simplifying Event Streaming: Tools for Location Transparency and Data Evoluti...confluent
At Under Armour Connected Fitness, we’ve built an event streaming platform on top of Kafka and the Confluent stack that makes it easy for developers to produce and consume schema-based events without requiring direct knowledge of Kafka. We are constantly trying to improve the developer experience. The platform consists of multiple federated Kafka clusters, a schema registry, a topology service, an archiver and specialized client libraries and Web / CLI tools that assist developers with producer and consumer workflows.
In this talk, we will take a deeper dive into the design and implementation of a Scala/Java implementation of our client library that allows developers to produce or consume events without worrying about the underlying infrastructure and their location while enjoying the benefits of data compatibility through schemas. We’ll also look at an HTTP based client proxy that exposes the same API but for languages without our native support. Finally, we’ll walk through Web and CLI tools we built to make working with the platform easier.
The content of this talk will be primarily aimed at software developers looking for ideas on how to build Kafka client tools that allow producer/consumer interactions protected by schema-based event definitions while hiding details of the underlying infrastructure.
Healthcare data comes in many shapes and sizes making ingestion difficult for a variety of batch and near real time use cases. By Cerner evolving its architecture to adopt Apache Kafka, Cerner was able to build a modular architecture for current and future use cases. Reviewing the evolution of Cerner’s uses, developers can help to avoid mistakes and set themselves up for success.

We are at the dawn of an age where listening to data drives the difference between unicorns and dinosaurs. Learn how HomeAway leverages Kafka as the “dial tone for data” enabling enterprises to connect disparate data sources “supercharging” them for a variety of use cases: SLA monitoring, A/B Testing, Visitor Segmentation, Fraud Detection, real-time ETL and more. The secret? Come find out.
Towards A Stream Centered Enterprise, Gabriel Commeauconfluent
In this talk, you’ll learn how we’re taking Comcast’s Technology and Product group’s massive, heterogeneous set of data collection systems and centralizing on a single platform built around Kafka. These data collection systems are used for everything from business analytics, to near-real time operations, to executive reporting.
We’ll go over what it takes to wrangle streaming data across an enterprise, including the need for, and our approaches to:
Schema management, both at schema creation time and when schema evolution is required
Data ingest and cleansing
Multi-datacenter collection and failover
How we use the same data stream for many different purposes, across many different teams
Kafka, Killer of Point-to-Point Integrations, Lucian Litaconfluent
With 60+ products and over 24% of the US GDP flowing through it, system integration is a tough problem for Intuit. Seasonality, scale, and massive peaks in products like TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mint.com add extra layers of difficulty when building shared data services around transaction and user graphs, clickstream processing, a/b testing, and personalization. To reduce complexity and latency, we’ve implemented Kafka as the backbone across these data services. This allows us to asynchronously trigger relevant processing, elegantly scaling up and down as needed around peaks, all without the need for point-to-point integrations.
In this talk, we share what we’ve learned about Kafka at Intuit and describe our data services architecture. We found that Kafka is invaluable in achieving a scalable, clean architecture, allowing engineering teams to focus less on integration and more on product development.
Building Large-Scale Stream Infrastructures Across Multiple Data Centers with...confluent
BY Jun Rao
From the Bay Area Apache Kafka September 2016 Meetup.
Abstract: To manage the ever-increasing volume and velocity of data within your company you have successfully made the transition from single machines and one-off solutions to large, distributed stream infrastructures in your data center powered by Apache Kafka. But what needs to be done if one data center is not enough? In this session we describe building resilient data pipelines with Apache Kafka that span multiple data centers and points of presence. We provide an overview of best practices and common patterns while covering key areas such as architecture guidelines, data replication and mirroring as well as disaster scenarios and failure handling.
Netflix changed its data pipeline architecture recently to use Kafka as the gateway for data collection for all applications which processes hundreds of billions of messages daily. This session will discuss the motivation of moving to Kafka, the architecture and improvements we have added to make Kafka work in AWS. We will also share the lessons learned and future plans.

Simplifying Event Streaming: Tools for Location Transparency and Data Evoluti...confluent
At Under Armour Connected Fitness, we’ve built an event streaming platform on top of Kafka and the Confluent stack that makes it easy for developers to produce and consume schema-based events without requiring direct knowledge of Kafka. We are constantly trying to improve the developer experience. The platform consists of multiple federated Kafka clusters, a schema registry, a topology service, an archiver and specialized client libraries and Web / CLI tools that assist developers with producer and consumer workflows.
In this talk, we will take a deeper dive into the design and implementation of a Scala/Java implementation of our client library that allows developers to produce or consume events without worrying about the underlying infrastructure and their location while enjoying the benefits of data compatibility through schemas. We’ll also look at an HTTP based client proxy that exposes the same API but for languages without our native support. Finally, we’ll walk through Web and CLI tools we built to make working with the platform easier.
The content of this talk will be primarily aimed at software developers looking for ideas on how to build Kafka client tools that allow producer/consumer interactions protected by schema-based event definitions while hiding details of the underlying infrastructure.
Healthcare data comes in many shapes and sizes making ingestion difficult for a variety of batch and near real time use cases.

Towards A Stream Centered Enterprise, Gabriel Commeauconfluent
In this talk, you’ll learn how we’re taking Comcast’s Technology and Product group’s massive, heterogeneous set of data collection systems and centralizing on a single platform built around Kafka. These data collection systems are used for everything from business analytics, to near-real time operations, to executive reporting.
We’ll go over what it takes to wrangle streaming data across an enterprise, including the need for, and our approaches to:
Schema management, both at schema creation time and when schema evolution is required
Data ingest and cleansing
Multi-datacenter collection and failover
How we use the same data stream for many different purposes, across many different teams
Kafka, Killer of Point-to-Point Integrations, Lucian Litaconfluent
With 60+ products and over 24% of the US GDP flowing through it, system integration is a tough problem for Intuit. Seasonality, scale, and massive peaks in products like TurboTax, QuickBooks, and Mint.com add extra layers of difficulty when building shared data services around transaction and user graphs, clickstream processing, a/b testing, and personalization. To reduce complexity and latency, we’ve implemented Kafka as the backbone across these data services. This allows us to asynchronously trigger relevant processing, elegantly scaling up and down as needed around peaks, all without the need for point-to-point integrations.
In this talk, we share what we’ve learned about Kafka at Intuit and describe our data services architecture. We found that Kafka is invaluable in achieving a scalable, clean architecture, allowing engineering teams to focus less on integration and more on product development.
Building Large-Scale Stream Infrastructures Across Multiple Data Centers with...confluent
BY Jun Rao
From the Bay Area Apache Kafka September 2016 Meetup.
Abstract: To manage the ever-increasing volume and velocity of data within your company you have successfully made the transition from single machines and one-off solutions to large, distributed stream infrastructures in your data center powered by Apache Kafka. But what needs to be done if one data center is not enough? In this session we describe building resilient data pipelines with Apache Kafka that span multiple data centers and points of presence. We provide an overview of best practices and common patterns while covering key areas such as architecture guidelines, data replication and mirroring as well as disaster scenarios and failure handling.

Build real-time streaming data pipelines to AWS with Confluentconfluent
Traditional data pipelines often face scalability issues and challenges related to cost, their monolithic design, and reliance on batch data processing. They also typically operate under the premise that all data needs to be stored in a single centralized data source before it's put to practical use. Confluent Cloud on Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a fully managed cloud-native platform that helps you simplify the way you build real-time data flows using streaming data pipelines and Apache Kafka.

Transforming applications built with traditional messaging solutions such as TIBCO, MQ and Solace to be scalable, reliable and ready for the move to cloud
How can applications built with traditional messaging technologies like TIBCO, Solace and IBM MQ be modernised and be made cloud ready? What are the advantages to Event Streaming approaches to pub/sub vs traditional message queues? What are the strengeths and weaknesses of both approaches, and what use cases and requirements are actually a better fit for messaging than Kafka?
This session will show why the old paradigm does not work and that a new approach to the data strategy needs to be taken. It aims to show how a Data Streaming Platform is integral to the evolution of a company’s data strategy and how Confluent is not just an integration layer but the central nervous system for an organisation

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

People at this conference are part of something big.
Won’t be quite Woodstock—it’s one day of Kafka and stream processing not 3 days of love, and I’m not sure what our CoC says about LSD.
But nonetheless there is a big change happening in the world—there is something happening here—and I think we’re really lucky to be here at the beginning of it.
The heart of it is that what business are is changing. A business used to be something that was built out of paper and people.
Now a business is something that is equally made out of data and software (with lot’s of great people doing the hard bits!)
This is really different.
So what does a fully digital business look like?
What does a fully digital business look like? We’re still in the process of really learning how to build one. One of the nice things about my job is I get to talk to people who have built this kind of fully digital company, lot’s of them here in silicon valley, but also I get to talk to people who are in the process of business that were originally built out of people and paper and which are transitioning.
The early versions of this process mirrored what humans did.
You get data systems replace the file cabinets as a storage mechanism, and computer programs that replace some of the human processes.
But early on it is piecemeal and grounded in the constraints and thought patterns of what came before—more a horseless carriage than—than a modern car.
It will be no surprise to anyone in this room that I think a big part of what this natively digital business looks like is about streams.
Data on paper is inherently static, but that limitation is long gone and in a fully digital world an event that occurs in one part of an organization needs to be available everywhere immediately.
Piles => Streams
Processing and reacting to these streams is at the heart of what businesses do.
You can take a concrete example of a type of business we all know—Retail.
Sales and shipments aren’t a static thing, they happen all the time, and reacting to these streams is at the heart of what a retail company does.
This is by no means unique to retail: maybe 30-50% of what companies do falls into this domain of reacting to streams of events.
This is very much why we built Apache Kafka.
We had a very particular vision for what a company would look like if you reimagined it’s use of data around streams of events.
The vision that inspired Kafka was this idea of a streaming platform.
A central place where every part of the organization could publish the stream of data it had, and that would let every other thing
