Historically, Pinterest data warehouse ingestion and indexing services were implemented on batch ETL and Kafka streaming respectively. As the product side leans more toward real-time and near-realtime data to innovate and compete, teams work together to revamp the ingestion and processing stack in Pinterest.
In this talk, we plan to share our near-real-time ingestion system built on top of Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, and Apache Iceberg. We pick ANSI SQL as the common currency to minimize the ""lambda architecture"" learning curve of teams adopting fresh data near-realtime data.

Evolution of NRT Data Ingestion Pipeline at TrendyolHostedbyConfluent
"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."
Ensuring Kafka Service Resilience: A Dive into Health-Checking TechniquesHostedbyConfluent

While proactive monitoring is key for issue prevention, failures will still occur. Rapid detection tools will enable you to identify and resolve problems before they impact end-users. 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 KafkaHostedbyConfluent
"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."
"In this talk, we will explore the exciting world of IoT and computer vision by presenting a unique project: Fish Plays Pokemon. Using an ESP Eye camera connected to an ESP32 and other IoT devices, to monitor fish's movements in an aquarium.
This project showcases the power of IoT and computer vision, demonstrating how even a fish can play a popular video game. We will discuss the challenges we faced during development, including real-time processing, IoT device integration, and Kafka message consumption.
By the end of the talk, attendees will have a better understanding of how to combine IoT, computer vision, and the usage of a serverless cloud to create innovative projects. They will also learn how to integrate IoT devices with Kafka to simulate keyboard behavior, opening up endless possibilities for real-time interactions between the physical and digital worlds."
What is tiered storage and what is it good for? After this session you will know how to leverage the tiered storage feature to enable longer retention than the storage attached to brokers allows. You will get acquainted with the different configuration options and know what to expect when you enable the feature, like for example when will the first upload to the remote object storage take place.
Building a Self-Service Stream Processing Portal: How And WhyHostedbyConfluent
"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 ...HostedbyConfluent
"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 ClustersHostedbyConfluent
"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."

"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."
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 PerformanceHostedbyConfluent

Beyond Tiered Storage: Serverless Kafka with No Local DisksHostedbyConfluent
"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."

Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

13. Toward Federated Big Data(Base) System - 2022
Federation approach towards rapid changing
data landscape, adapt to heterogeneous
workloads and systems
● Extensibility virtual table and view
interface implemented by multiple
compute engines (e.g spark/flink/presto)
● Connectivity RDBMS, NoSQL, Message
Queue, OLAP as well as cloud data
warehouse
● Portability user workload as UDF and
SQL is easier to migrate cross systems;
API approach like Apache Beam is also
compatible
