About us
This group is addressed to London Apache Kafka users. We welcome software engineers, systems architects, data scientists, software developers and anyone interested in Apache Kafka. This group is also addressed to people interested in advanced system architecture, real-time event streaming and the Internet of Things.
Join this group if you would like to learn more about Apache Kafka and the technologies related. Also join if you'd like to share your current project experiences, hear about real life use cases, learn about best practices, how to tune your Kafka deployments and how to develop software that uses it.
We organise quarterly events where community members will talk about their experiences or about specific technical aspects. Talks will be followed by networking.
We hope these talks and networking events will make Apache Kafka London the place were the fast growing Kafka users community in London gets to know each other.
