All things Stream Processing!

Kafka Streams is a client library for building applications and microservices, where the input and output data are stored in an Apache Kafka® cluster. It combines the simplicity of writing and deploying standard Java and Scala applications on the client side with the benefits of Kafka’s server-side cluster technology.

ksqlDB is the event streaming database purpose-built for stream processing applications. It’s available both as a managed service in Confluent Cloud, or you can run it yourself.

Kafka Connect is the integration API for Apache Kafka. It enables you to stream data in from systems upstream like RDBMS and MQ into Kafka, and from Kafka to systems downstream like RDBMS, Elasticsearch, NoSQL stores, and more.

The Producer, Consumer, and Admin APIs are how client applications interact with Apache Kafka.

Confluent Schema Registry provides a serving layer for your metadata.

If you’re not developing applications, you’re operating them!

Tools are how we work with the APIs. Commandline or graphical, whatever you choose, here is where to ask your questions and discuss your favourite ones.

Microservices or distributed monoliths? Event-driven or Event-drivel ? Pose questions or share content here about designing systems.

Summit presentations, Conference talks, Seminar demos, etc.
