Studying the ""how"" of Kafka makes you better at using Kafka, but studying its ""whys"" makes you better at so much more. In looking at the tradeoffs behind a system like Kafka, we learn to reason more clearly about distributed systems and to make high-stakes technology adoption decisions more effectively. These are skills we all want to improve! In this talk, we'll examine trade-offs on which our favorite distributed messaging system takes opinionated positions: - Whether to store data contiguously or using an index - How many storage tiers are best? - Where should metadata live? - And more. It's always useful to dissect a modern distributed system with the goal of understanding it better, and it's even better to learn to deeper architectural principles in the process. Come to this talk for a generous helping of both.

Building a Modern, Scalable Cyber Intelligence Platform with Apache Kafka | J...
As cyber threats continuously grow in sophistication and frequency, companies need to quickly acclimate to effectively detect, respond, and protect their environments. At Intel, we’ve addressed this need by implementing a modern, scalable Cyber Intelligence Platform (CIP) based on Splunk and Apache Kafka. We believe that CIP positions us for the best defense against cyber threats well into the future.
Our CIP ingests tens of terabytes of data each day and transforms it into actionable insights through streams processing, context-smart applications, and advanced analytics techniques. Kafka serves as a massive data pipeline within the platform. It provides us the ability to operate on data in-stream, enabling us to reduce Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR). Faster detection and response ultimately leads to better prevention.
In our session, we’ll discuss the details described in the IT@Intel white paper that was published in Nov 2020 with same title.

Elastically Scaling Kafka Using Confluent
This document discusses how Confluent Platform provides elastic scaling for Apache Kafka. It offers fully managed cloud services through Confluent Cloud or self-managed software. Confluent Cloud allows users to easily scale Kafka workloads from 0 MBps to GBps without complex provisioning. It also offers pay-for-use pricing where customers only pay for the data streamed, with the ability to scale to zero. For self-managed deployments, Confluent Platform enables dynamic scaling of Kafka clusters on Kubernetes through features like tiered storage and self-balancing clusters that can rebalance partitions in seconds versus hours for other Kafka services.
EDA Governance Model: a multicloud approach based on GitOps | Alejandro Alija...
This document discusses Galeo's EDA governance model based on GitOps for multi-cloud environments. The model defines a standardized platform and service catalogue using a unified documentation model consolidated in Git repositories. This allows governance procedures like project approval, infrastructure provisioning, and component deployment to be automated through a single CI/CD pipeline without additional documentation overhead. The catalogue is kept up-to-date based on what is actually deployed, facilitating reuse and standardization across projects.

This session will dive into our most successful (and unsuccessful!) multi-cluster event replication patterns.
An x-ray of the cross cluster distribution model that powers our globally distributed APIs will touch on the benefits that this model has provided in terms of client API experience, delivery agility and developer experience.
We will focus on recipes for effective use of Mirror Maker event replication to power platform distribution including the challenges of managing a 'fan in' event replication workflow - pulling events created in satellite clusters back to a mothership cluster for processing.
We will introduce the elegant technique of replication event multiplexing - which can be used to simplify the burden of managing a 'fan-in' replication topology by eliminating regional awareness from the application domain and improving replication health monitoring & observability.

IoT Data Streaming - Why MQTT and Kafka are a match made in heaven | Dominik ...
A fast and efficient integration of end device data into data processing systems is becoming increasingly important in the Internet of Things. Factors such as secure and reliable data transmission, real-time data processing and the analysis of huge amounts of data afterwards play a major role. In order to implement an architecture that enables smooth communication between end devices and systems, tools are needed that are designed for a type of communication that takes these factors into account.
This presentation shows the strengths and application areas of MQTT, the de-facto standard communication protocol for the Internet of Things, and Apache Kafka, which is often used for data streaming in the Internet of Things, and explains how and why the technologies complement each other ideally.

The document discusses Kafka in the context of cloud platforms and open source communities. It describes several Apache projects that can be used with Kafka, such as Apache NiFi for data collection, Apache Flink for stream processing, and Apache Ranger for security. It also outlines features of Cloudera's platform for managing Kafka deployments, including unified governance tools, monitoring, and services to simplify operations. Finally, it discusses how Kafka can be deployed across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid environments with auto-scaling and other management capabilities.
Enhancing Apache Kafka for Large Scale Real-Time Data Pipeline at Tencent | K...
In this session we share our experience of building a real-time data pipelines at Tencent PCG - one that handles 20 trillion daily messages with 700 clusters and 100Gb/s bursting traffic from a single app. We discuss our roadmap of enhancing Kafka to break its limits in terms of scalability, robustness and cost of operation.
We first built a proxy layer that aggregates physical clusters in a way agnostic to the clients. While this architecture solves many operational problems, it requires significant development to stay future-proof. With retrospection with our customer and careful study of the ongoing work from the community, we then designed a region federation solution in the broker layer, which allows us to deploy clusters at a much larger scale than previously possible, while at the same time providing better failure recovery and operability. We discuss how we make this development compatible with KIP-500 and KIP-405, and the two KIP (693, 694) that we submitted for discussion.
Supercharge Your Real-time Event Processing with Neo4j's Streams Kafka Connec...
Do your event streams use connected-data domains such as fraud detection, live logistics routing, or predicting network outages? How can you maintain the analysis and leverage those connections real-time?
Graph databases differ from traditional, tabular ones in that they treat connections between data as first class citizens. This means they are optimized for detecting and understanding these relationships – providing insight at speed and at scale.
By combining event streams from Kafka along with the power of the Neo4j graph database for interrogating and investigating connections, you make real-time, event-driven intelligent insight a reality.
Neo4j Streams integrates Neo4j with Apache Kafka event streams, to serve as a source of data, for instance Change Data Capture or a sink to ingest any kind of Kafka event into your graph. In this session we’ll show you how to get up and running with Neo4j Streams to show you how to sink and source between graphs and streams.
Kafka Summit NYC 2017 - Achieving Predictability and Compliance with BNY Mell...
This document summarizes BNY Mellon's implementation of a data distribution hub to improve data management across the enterprise. Key points:
1) BNY Mellon developed a data distribution hub using a microservices architecture and Kafka to decouple data sources and consumers, centralize data transformation and security, and improve data lineage management.
2) The hub scales horizontally using three dimensions - functional decomposition of microservices, horizontal scaling within an internal cloud, and data sharding.
3) Kafka is used extensively to integrate microservices, maintain processing offsets, and allow idempotent execution.
4) Both batch and real-time data processing are supported, with the latter using Storm on Kafka and loading data into
Stream processing IoT time series data with Kafka & InfluxDB | Al Sargent, In...
Time series data is everywhere -- connected IoT devices, application monitoring & observability platforms, and more. What makes time series datastreams challenging is that they often have orders of magnitude more data than other workloads, with millions of time series datapoints being quite common. Given its ability to ingest high volumes of data, Kafka is a natural part of any data architecture handling large volumes of time series telemetry, specifically as an intermediate buffer before that data is persisted in InfluxDB for processing, analysis, and use in other applications. In this session, we will show you how you can stream time series data to your IoT application using Kafka queues and InfluxDB, drawing upon deployments done at Hulu and Wayfair that allow both to ingest 1 million metrics per second. Once this session is complete, you’ll be able to connect a Kafka queue to an InfluxDB instance as the beginning of your own time series data pipeline.
Mind the App: How to Monitor Your Kafka Streams Applications | Bruno Cadonna,...
You cannot operate what you cannot measure. In this talk, I am going to present the built-in metrics framework of Kafka Streams that supports monitoring Kafka Streams applications. You will learn how to setup monitoring of metrics for your Kafka Streams applications and you will hear about the following recent improvements to the metrics framework that aim to extend and simplify monitoring. KIP-444 aims to simplify and extend the built-in metrics framework. The RocksDB metrics introduced in KIP-471 and KIP-607 allow you to look directly into the built-in persistent state stores of your Kafka Streams applications. Finally, KIP-613 specifies metrics that measure end-to-end latencies in your applications. This talk will help you collect intel about the behavior of your Kafka Streams applications, and will allow you to reason about the deployment. In the end, you will be able to better understand your applications and run them in a more robust manner.
Event-driven Applications with Kafka, Micronaut, and AWS Lambda | Dave Klein,...
One of the great things about running applications in the cloud is that you only pay for the resources that you use. But that also makes it more important than ever for our applications to be resource-efficient. This becomes even more critical when we use serverless functions.
Micronaut is an application framework that provides dependency injection, developer productivity features, and excellent support for Apache Kafka. By performing dependency injection, AOP, and other productivity-enhancing magic at compile time, Micronaut allows us to build smaller, more efficient microservices and serverless functions.
In this session, we'll explore the ways that Apache Kafka and Micronaut work together to enable us to build fast, efficient, event-driven applications. Then we'll see it in action, using the AWS Lambda Sink Connector for Confluent Cloud.
How a distributed graph analytics platform uses Apache Kafka for data ingesti...
Using Kafka to stream data into TigerGraph, a distributed graph database, is a common pattern in our customers’ data architecture. In the TigerGraph database, Kafka Connect framework was used to build the native S3 data loader. In TigerGraph Cloud, we will be building native integration with many data sources such as Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage using Kafka as an integrated component for the Cloud Portal.
In this session, we will be discussing both architectures: 1. built-in Kafka Connect framework within TigerGraph database; 2. using Kafka cluster for cloud native integration with other popular data sources. Demo will be provided for both data streaming processes.

We will demonstrate how easy it is to use Confluent Cloud as the data source of your Beam pipelines. You will learn how to process the information that comes from Confluent Cloud in real time, make transformations on such information and feed it back to your Kafka topics and other parts of your architecture.
Help, My Kafka is Broken! (Emma Humber & Gantigmaa Selenge, IBM) Kafka Summit...
While Apache Kafka is designed to be fault-tolerant, there will be times when your Kafka environment just isn’t working as expected.
Whether it’s a newly configured application not processing messages, or an outage in a high-load, mission-critical production environment, it’s crucial to get up and running as quickly and safely as possible.
IBM has hosted production Kafka environments for several years and has in-depth knowledge of how to diagnose and resolve problems rapidly and accurately to ensure minimal impact to end users.
This session will discuss our experiences of how to most effectively collect and understand Kafka diagnostics. We’ll talk through using these diagnostics to work out what’s gone wrong, and how to recover from a system outage. Using this new-found knowledge, you will be equipped to handle any problem your cluster throws at you.
5 lessons learned for successful migration to Confluent cloud | Natan Silinit...
Confluent Cloud makes Devops engineers lives a lot more easier.
Yet moving 1500 microservices, 10K topics and 100K partitions to a multi-cluster Confluent cloud can be a challenge.
In this talk you will hear about 5 lessons that Wix has learned in order to successfully meet this challenge.
These lessons include:
1. Automation, Automation, Automation - all the process has to be completely automated at such scale
2. Prefer a gradual approach - E.g. migrate topics in small chunks and not all at once. Reduces risks if things go bad
3. Cleanup first - avoid migrating unused topics or topics with too many unnecessary partitions
Digital Transformation in Healthcare with Kafka—Building a Low Latency Data P...
(Dmitry Milman + Ankur Kaneria, Express Scripts) Kafka Summit SF 2018
Building cloud-based microservices can be a challenge when the system of record is a relational database residing on an on-premise mainframe. The challenge lies in the ability to efficiently and cost-effectively access the ever-increasing amount of data. Express Scripts is reimagining its data architecture to bring best-in-class user experience and provide the foundation of next-generation applications.
This talk will showcase how Kafka plays a key role within Express Scripts’ transformation from mainframe to a microservice-based ecosystem, ensuring data integrity between two worlds. It will discuss how change data capture (CDC) is leveraged to stream data changes to Kafka, allowing us to build a low-latency data sync pipeline. We will describe how we achieve transactional consistency by collapsing all events that belong together onto a single topic, yet have the ability to scale out to meet the real time SLAs and low-latency requirements through means of partitions. We will share our Kafka Streams configuration to handle the data transformation workload. We will discuss our overall Kafka cluster footprint, configuration and security measures.
Express Scripts Holding Company is an American Fortune 100 company. As of 2018, the company is the 25th largest in the U.S. as well as one of the largest pharmacy benefit management organizations in the U.S. Customers rely on 24/7 access to our services, and need the ability to interact with our systems in real time via various channels such as web and mobile. Sharing our mainframe t0 microservices migration journey, our experiences and lessons learned would be beneficial to other companies venturing on a similar path.

Integrating data from this critical technology often results in high costs, missed deadlines, and unhappy customers. So, what can you do? Join us to hear how Precisely Connect can help use the power of Apache Kafka to eliminate data silos and make cloud-based, event-driven data architectures a reality. Start your cloud transformation journey today, knowing you don’t need to leave essential transaction data behind! Learn more about: • Where to begin your cloud transformation journey using mainframe and IBM i data and Apache Kafka • What you need to move mainframe and IBM i data to the cloud while reducing costs, modernizing architectures, and using the staff you have today • How Precisely Connect customers are using change data capture and Apache Kafka to deliver real-time insights to the cloud
Digital transformation: Highly resilient streaming architecture and strategie...
Failure is inevitable in any distributed system but anticipating failures and building systems to recover from failures instantaneous makes the system highly resilient. At Capital One we process billions of events everyday and we leverage cloud, microservices, streaming and machine learning technologies to solve customer problems and provide the best customer experience.
As part of this session I will be talking about highly resilient streaming architecture that is supporting processing of billions of events every day then some of the strategies & best practices to build highly available and fault-tolerant systems utilizing Kafka and Cloud environments.
Availability of Kafka - Beyond the Brokers | Andrew Borley and Emma Humber, IBM
While Kafka has guarantees around the number of server failures a cluster can tolerate, to avoid service interruptions, or even data loss, it is prudent to have infrastructure in place for when an environment becomes unavailable during a planned or unplanned outage.
This talk describes the architectures available to you when planning for an outage. We will examine configurations including active/passive and active/active as well as availability zones and debate the benefits and limitations of each. We will also cover how to set up each configuration using the tools in Kafka.
Whether downtime while you fail over clients to a backup is acceptable or you require your Kafka clusters to be highly available, this talk will give you an understanding of the options available to mitigate the impact of the loss of an environment.

Building Event Streaming Microservices with Spring Boot and Apache Kafka | Ja...
This document summarizes Jan Svoboda's presentation on building event streaming microservices with Spring Boot and Apache Kafka. Jan discusses his motivation for learning Kafka and microservices development. He outlines a typical journey from strangling monoliths to building event-driven architectures using Kafka. Jan explains how Spring and Kafka integrate well together. The remainder of the presentation demonstrates building a sample application using these techniques and dives into common architecture patterns like event sourcing, CQRS, scaling stateful services, and reverse proxy routing.
Kafka error handling patterns and best practices | Hemant Desale and Aruna Ka...
Transaction Banking from Goldman Sachs is a high volume, latency sensitive digital banking platform offering. We have chosen an event driven architecture to build highly decoupled and independent microservices in a cloud native manner and are designed to meet the objectives of Security, Availability Latency and Scalability. Kafka was a natural choice – to decouple producers and consumers and to scale easily for high volume processing. However, there are certain aspects that require careful consideration – handling errors and partial failures, managing downtime of consumers, secure communication between brokers and producers / consumers. In this session, we will present the patterns and best practices that helped us build robust event driven applications. We will also present our solution approach that has been reused across multiple application domains. We hope that by sharing our experience, we can establish a reference implementation that application developers can benefit from.
Distributed Data Storage & Streaming for Real-time Decisioning Using Kafka, S...
Real-time connectivity of databases and systems is critical in enterprises adopting digital transformation to support super-fast decisioning to drive applications like fraud detection, digital payments, recommendation engines. This talk will focus on the many functions that database streaming serves with Kafka, Spark and Aerospike. We will explore how to eliminate the wall between transaction processing and analytics by synthesizing streaming data with system of record data, to gain key insights in real-time.

Evolution from EDA to Data Mesh: Data in Motion
Thoughtworks Zhamak Dehghani observations on these traditional approaches’s failure modes, inspired her to develop an alternative big data management architecture that she aptly named the Data Mesh. This represents a paradigm shift that draws from modern distributed architecture and is founded on the principles of domain-driven design, self-serve platform, and product thinking with Data. In the last decade Apache Kafka has established a new category of data management infrastructure for data in motion that has been leveraged in modern distributed data architectures.

You cannot operate what you cannot measure. In this talk, I am going to present the built-in metrics framework of Kafka Streams that supports monitoring Kafka Streams applications. You will learn how to setup monitoring of metrics for your Kafka Streams applications and you will hear about the following recent improvements to the metrics framework that aim to extend and simplify monitoring. KIP-444 aims to simplify and extend the built-in metrics framework. The RocksDB metrics introduced in KIP-471 and KIP-607 allow you to look directly into the built-in persistent state stores of your Kafka Streams applications. Finally, KIP-613 specifies metrics that measure end-to-end latencies in your applications. This talk will help you collect intel about the behavior of your Kafka Streams applications, and will allow you to reason about the deployment. In the end, you will be able to better understand your applications and run them in a more robust manner.
Event-driven Applications with Kafka, Micronaut, and AWS Lambda | Dave Klein,...
One of the great things about running applications in the cloud is that you only pay for the resources that you use. But that also makes it more important than ever for our applications to be resource-efficient. This becomes even more critical when we use serverless functions.
Micronaut is an application framework that provides dependency injection, developer productivity features, and excellent support for Apache Kafka. By performing dependency injection, AOP, and other productivity-enhancing magic at compile time, Micronaut allows us to build smaller, more efficient microservices and serverless functions.
In this session, we'll explore the ways that Apache Kafka and Micronaut work together to enable us to build fast, efficient, event-driven applications. Then we'll see it in action, using the AWS Lambda Sink Connector for Confluent Cloud.
How a distributed graph analytics platform uses Apache Kafka for data ingesti...
Using Kafka to stream data into TigerGraph, a distributed graph database, is a common pattern in our customers’ data architecture. In the TigerGraph database, Kafka Connect framework was used to build the native S3 data loader. In TigerGraph Cloud, we will be building native integration with many data sources such as Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage using Kafka as an integrated component for the Cloud Portal.
In this session, we will be discussing both architectures: 1. built-in Kafka Connect framework within TigerGraph database; 2. using Kafka cluster for cloud native integration with other popular data sources. Demo will be provided for both data streaming processes.

IBM has hosted production Kafka environments for several years and has in-depth knowledge of how to diagnose and resolve problems rapidly and accurately to ensure minimal impact to end users.
This session will discuss our experiences of how to most effectively collect and understand Kafka diagnostics. We’ll talk through using these diagnostics to work out what’s gone wrong, and how to recover from a system outage. Using this new-found knowledge, you will be equipped to handle any problem your cluster throws at you.
5 lessons learned for successful migration to Confluent cloud | Natan Silinit...
Confluent Cloud makes Devops engineers lives a lot more easier.
Yet moving 1500 microservices, 10K topics and 100K partitions to a multi-cluster Confluent cloud can be a challenge.
In this talk you will hear about 5 lessons that Wix has learned in order to successfully meet this challenge.
These lessons include:
1. Automation, Automation, Automation - all the process has to be completely automated at such scale
2. Prefer a gradual approach - E.g. migrate topics in small chunks and not all at once. Reduces risks if things go bad
3. Cleanup first - avoid migrating unused topics or topics with too many unnecessary partitions
Digital Transformation in Healthcare with Kafka—Building a Low Latency Data P...
(Dmitry Milman + Ankur Kaneria, Express Scripts) Kafka Summit SF 2018
Building cloud-based microservices can be a challenge when the system of record is a relational database residing on an on-premise mainframe. The challenge lies in the ability to efficiently and cost-effectively access the ever-increasing amount of data. Express Scripts is reimagining its data architecture to bring best-in-class user experience and provide the foundation of next-generation applications.
This talk will showcase how Kafka plays a key role within Express Scripts’ transformation from mainframe to a microservice-based ecosystem, ensuring data integrity between two worlds. It will discuss how change data capture (CDC) is leveraged to stream data changes to Kafka, allowing us to build a low-latency data sync pipeline. We will describe how we achieve transactional consistency by collapsing all events that belong together onto a single topic, yet have the ability to scale out to meet the real time SLAs and low-latency requirements through means of partitions. We will share our Kafka Streams configuration to handle the data transformation workload. We will discuss our overall Kafka cluster footprint, configuration and security measures.
Express Scripts Holding Company is an American Fortune 100 company. As of 2018, the company is the 25th largest in the U.S. as well as one of the largest pharmacy benefit management organizations in the U.S. Customers rely on 24/7 access to our services, and need the ability to interact with our systems in real time via various channels such as web and mobile. Sharing our mainframe t0 microservices migration journey, our experiences and lessons learned would be beneficial to other companies venturing on a similar path.

Availability of Kafka - Beyond the Brokers | Andrew Borley and Emma Humber, IBM
While Kafka has guarantees around the number of server failures a cluster can tolerate, to avoid service interruptions, or even data loss, it is prudent to have infrastructure in place for when an environment becomes unavailable during a planned or unplanned outage.
This talk describes the architectures available to you when planning for an outage. We will examine configurations including active/passive and active/active as well as availability zones and debate the benefits and limitations of each. We will also cover how to set up each configuration using the tools in Kafka.
Whether downtime while you fail over clients to a backup is acceptable or you require your Kafka clusters to be highly available, this talk will give you an understanding of the options available to mitigate the impact of the loss of an environment.

Kafka error handling patterns and best practices | Hemant Desale and Aruna Ka...
Transaction Banking from Goldman Sachs is a high volume, latency sensitive digital banking platform offering. We have chosen an event driven architecture to build highly decoupled and independent microservices in a cloud native manner and are designed to meet the objectives of Security, Availability Latency and Scalability. Kafka was a natural choice – to decouple producers and consumers and to scale easily for high volume processing. However, there are certain aspects that require careful consideration – handling errors and partial failures, managing downtime of consumers, secure communication between brokers and producers / consumers. In this session, we will present the patterns and best practices that helped us build robust event driven applications. We will also present our solution approach that has been reused across multiple application domains. We hope that by sharing our experience, we can establish a reference implementation that application developers can benefit from.

Evolution from EDA to Data Mesh: Data in Motion
Thoughtworks Zhamak Dehghani observations on these traditional approaches’s failure modes, inspired her to develop an alternative big data management architecture that she aptly named the Data Mesh. This represents a paradigm shift that draws from modern distributed architecture and is founded on the principles of domain-driven design, self-serve platform, and product thinking with Data. In the last decade Apache Kafka has established a new category of data management infrastructure for data in motion that has been leveraged in modern distributed data architectures.
Apache Kafka® and the Data Mesh
This document discusses how Apache Kafka and event streaming fit within a data mesh architecture. It provides an overview of the key principles of a data mesh, including domain-driven decentralization, treating data as a first-class product, a self-serve data platform, and federated governance. It then explains how Kafka's publish-subscribe event streaming model aligns well with these principles by allowing different domains to independently publish and consume streams of data. The document also describes how Kafka can be used to ingest existing data sources, process data in real-time, and replicate data across the mesh in a scalable and interoperable way.

Apache Kafka and the Data Mesh | Ben Stopford and Michael Noll, Confluent
The document discusses the principles of a data mesh architecture using Apache Kafka for event streaming. It describes a data mesh as having four key principles: 1) domain-driven decentralization where each domain owns the data it creates, 2) treating data as a first-class product, 3) providing a self-serve data platform for easy access to real-time and historical data, and 4) establishing federated governance with global standards. Event streaming is presented as a good fit for data meshing due to its scalability, ability to handle real-time and historical data, and immutability. The document provides examples and recommendations for implementing each principle in a data mesh.

Apache Kafka vs. Traditional Middleware (Kai Waehner, Confluent) Frankfurt 20...
Apache Kafka can act as both an enemy and a friend to traditional middleware like message queues, ETL tools, and enterprise service buses. As an enemy, Kafka replaces many of the individual components and limitations of traditional middleware with a single, scalable event streaming platform. However, Kafka can also integrate with traditional middleware as a friend through connectors and client APIs, using traditional tools for specific integrations while relying on Kafka for scalable event collection and processing. In complex environments with both new and legacy systems, Kafka acts as a "frenemy" by facilitating a gradual migration from old middleware to a modern event streaming architecture centered around Kafka.

Evolution of NRT Data Ingestion Pipeline at Trendyol
"Trendyol, Turkey's leading e-commerce company, is committed to positively impacting the lives of millions of customers. Our decision-making processes are entirely driven by data. As a data warehouse team, our primary goal is to provide accurate and up-to-date data, enabling the extraction of valuable business insights.
We utilize the benefits provided by Kafka and Kafka Connect to facilitate the transfer of data from the source to our analytical environment. We recently transitioned our Kafka Connect clusters from on-premise VMs to Kubernetes. This shift was driven by our desire to effectively manage rapid growth(marked by a growing number of producers, consumers, and daily messages), ensuring proper monitoring and consistency. Consistency is crucial, especially in instances where we employ Single Message Transforms to manipulate records like filtering based on their keys or converting a JSON Object into a JSON string.
Monitoring our cluster's health is key and we achieve this through Grafana dashboards and alerts generated through kube-state-metrics. Additionally, Kafka Connect's JMX metrics, coupled with NewRelic, are employed for comprehensive monitoring.
The session will aim to explain our approach to NRT data ingestion, outlining the role of Kafka and Kafka Connect, our transition journey to K8s, and methods employed to monitor the health of our clusters."

This session explores the techniques employed by Kafka cloud providers for this detection, many of which are also applicable if you are managing independent Kafka clusters or applications.
The talk focuses on health-checking, a powerful tool that encompasses an application and its monitoring to validate Kafka environment availability. The session navigates through Kafka health-check methods, sharing best practices, identifying common pitfalls, and highlighting the monitoring of critical performance metrics like throughput and latency for early issue detection.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into the art of health-checking their Kafka environment, equipping them with the tools to identify and address issues before they escalate into critical problems. We invite all Kafka enthusiasts to join us in this talk to foster a deeper understanding of Kafka health-checking and ensure the continued smooth operation of your Kafka environment."
Exactly-once Stream Processing with Arroyo and Kafka
"Stream processing systems traditionally gave their users the choice between at least once processing and at most once processing: accepting duplicate data or missing data. But ideally we would provide exactly-once processing, where every event in the input data is represented exactly once in the output.
Kafka provides a transaction API that enables exactly-once when using Kafka as your source and sink. But this API has turned out to not be well suited for use by high level streaming systems, requiring various work arounds to still provide transactional processing.
In this talk, I’ll cover how the transaction API works, and how systems like Arroyo and Flink have used it to build exactly-once support, and how improvements to the transactional API will enable better end-to-end support for consistent stream processing."

Building a Self-Service Stream Processing Portal: How And Why
"Real-time 24/7 monitoring and verification of massive data is challenging – even more so for the world’s second largest manufacturer of memory chips and semiconductors. Tolerance levels are incredibly small, any small defect needs to be identified and dealt with immediately. The goal of semiconductor manufacturing is to improve yield and minimize unnecessary work.
However, even with real-time data collection, the data was not easy to manipulate by users and it took many days to enable stream processing requests – limiting its usefulness and value to the business.
You’ll hear why SK hynix switched to Confluent and how we developed a self-service stream process portal on top of it. Now users have an easy-to-use service to manipulate the data they want.
Results have been impressive, stream processing requests are available the same day – previously taking 5 days! We were also able to drive down costs by 10% as stream processing requests no longer require additional hardware.
What you’ll take away from our talk:
- What were the pain points in the previous environment
- How we transitioned to Confluent without service downtime
- Creating a self-service stream processing portal built on top of Connect and ksqlDB
- Use case of stream process portal"

Future with Zero Down-Time: End-to-end Resiliency with Chaos Engineering and ...
"In order to meet the current and ever-increasing demand for near-zero RPO/RTO systems, a focus on resiliency is critical. While Kafka offers built-in resiliency features, a perfect blend of client and cluster resiliency is necessary in order to achieve a highly resilient Kafka client application.
At Fidelity Investments, Kafka is used for a variety of event streaming needs such as core brokerage trading platforms, log aggregation, communication platforms, and data migrations. In this lightening talk, we will discuss the governance framework that has enabled producers and consumers to achieve their SLAs during unprecedented failure scenarios. We will highlight how we automated resiliency tests through chaos engineering and tightly integrated observability dashboards for Kafka clients to analyze and optimize client configurations. And finally, we will summarize the chaos test suite and the ""test, test and test"" mantra that are helping Fidelity Investments reach its goal of a future with zero down-time."
Navigating Private Network Connectivity Options for Kafka Clusters
"There are various strategies for securely connecting to Kafka clusters between different networks or over the public internet. Many cloud providers even offer endpoints that privately route traffic between networks and are not exposed to the internet. But, depending on your network setup and how you are running Kafka, these options ... might not be an option!
In this session, we’ll discuss how you can use SSH bastions or a self managed PrivateLink endpoint to establish connectivity to your Kafka clusters without exposing brokers directly to the internet. We explain the required network configuration, and show how we at Materialize have contributed to librdkafka to simplify these scenarios and avoid fragile workarounds."
Apache Flink: Building a Company-wide Self-service Streaming Data Platform
"In my talk, we will examine all the stages of building our self-service Streaming Data Platform based on Apache Flink and Kafka Connect, from the selection of a solution for stateful streaming data processing, right up to the successful design of a robust self-service platform, covering the challenges that we’ve met.
I will share our experience in providing non-Java developers with a company-wide self-service solution, which allows them to quickly and easily develop their streaming data pipelines.
Additionally, I will highlight specific business use cases that would not have been implemented without our platform.0 characters0 characters"

TL;DR Kafka Metrics | Kafka Summit London
"Monitoring is a fundamental operation when running Kafka and Kafka applications in production. There are numerous metrics available when using Kafka, however the sheer number is overwhelming, making it challenging to know where to start and how to properly utilise them.
This session will introduce you to some of the key metrics that should be monitored and best practices in fine tuning your monitoring. We will delve into which metrics are the indicators for cluster’s availability and performance and are the most helpful when debugging client applications."
A Window Into Your Kafka Streams Tasks | KSL
Kafka Streams relies on state restoration for maintaining standby tasks as failure recovery mechanism as well as for restoring the state after rebalance scenarios. When you are scaling up or down your application instances, it is necessary to know the current state of the restoration process for each active and standby task in order to prevent a long restoration process as much as possible. During this presentation, you will get an understanding of how KIP-869 provides valuable information about the current active task restoration after a rebalance and KIP-988 opens a window to the continuous process of standby restoration. When you encounter a situation in which you need to choose whether or not to scale up or down your application instances, both KIPs will be an invaluable ally for you.
Mastering Kafka Producer Configs: A Guide to Optimizing Performance
"In this talk, we will dive into the world of Kafka producer configs and explore how to understand and optimize them for better performance.

Whether you're new to Kafka or a seasoned pro, this session will provide valuable insights and practical tips for improving your Kafka producer performance.
- Introduction to Kafka producer internal and workflow
- Understanding the producer configs like linger.ms, batch.size, buffer.memory and their impact on performance
- Learning about producer configs like max.block.ms, delivery.timeout.ms, request.timeout.ms and retries to make producer more resilient.
- Discuss configs like enable.idempotence, max.in.flight.requests.per.connection and transaction related configs to achieve delivery guarantees.
- Q&A session with attendees to address specific questions and concerns."
Data Contracts Management: Schema Registry and Beyond
"Data contracts are one of the hottest topics in the data management community. A data contract is a formal agreement between a data producer and its consumers, aimed at reducing data downtime and improving data quality. Schemas are an important part of data contracts, but they are not the only relevant element.
In this talk, we’ll:
1. see why data contracts are so important but also difficult to implement;
2. identify the characteristics of a well-designed data contract:
discuss the anatomy of a data contract, its main elements and, how to formally describe them;
3. show how to manage the lifecycle of a data contract leveraging Confluent Platform's services."
Code-First Approach: Crafting Efficient Flink Apps
"In the realm of stateful stream processing, Apache Flink has emerged as a powerful and versatile platform. However, the conventional SQL-based approach often limits the full potential of Flink applications.
We will delve into the benefits of adopting a code-first approach, which provides developers with greater control over application logic, facilitates complex transformations, and enables more efficient handling of state and time. We will also discuss how the code-first approach can lead to more maintainable and testable code, ultimately improving the overall quality of your Flink applications.
Whether you're a seasoned Flink developer or just starting your journey, this talk will provide valuable insights into how a code-first approach can revolutionize your stream processing applications."
Debezium vs. the World: An Overview of the CDC Ecosystem
"Change Data Capture (CDC) has become a commodity in data engineering, much in part due to the ever-rising success of Debezium [1]. But is that all there is? In this lightning talk, we’ll outline the current state of the CDC ecosystem, and understand why adopting a Debezium alternative is still a hard sell. If you’ve ever wondered what else is out there, but can’t keep up with the sprawling of new tools in the ecosystem; we’ll wrap it up for you!

Beyond Tiered Storage: Serverless Kafka with No Local Disks
"Separation of compute and storage has become the de-facto standard in the data industry for batch processing.
The addition of tiered storage to open source Apache Kafka is the first step in bringing true separation of compute and storage to the streaming world.
In this talk, we'll discuss in technical detail how to take the concept of tiered storage to its logical extreme by building an Apache Kafka protocol compatible system that has zero local disks.
Eliminating all local disks in the system requires not only separating storage from compute, but also separating data from metadata. This is a monumental task that requires reimagining Kafka's architecture from the ground up, but the benefits are worth it.
This approach enables a stateless, elastic, and serverless deployment model that minimizes operational overhead and also drives inter-zone networking costs to almost zero."

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
