7.00pm - Talk - IBM Message Hub service in Bluemix by Andrew Schofield

IBM Message Hub is a multi-tenant, public cloud service based on Apache Kafka running in IBM's Bluemix PaaS. It offers the key benefits of Kafka such as scalability and fault-tolerance but as a service on the cloud. You connect to Message Hub using regular Kafka clients and programming interfaces, so you can think of it as Kafka on the cloud. Message Hub forms a messaging backbone for use in microservice architectures and for connecting to other services in the Bluemix cloud, such as streaming analytics. Come and hear about the challenges of creating a cloud service based on Kafka, how we've made it into a multi-tenant service and what Kafka in the cloud looks like.

8.00pm - Talk - Streaming analytics made easy with Samsara by Bruno Bonacci

Real-time analytics is a common problem which modern businesses have to tackle.
Most solutions available require extensive design and development, expensive licenses, or they have poor extensibility and inflexible query models.
Samsara Analytics is an open-source attempt to simplify a complex problem by combining powerful products like Apache Kafka and ElasticSearch and adopting simple processing patterns with a modern data-oriented language such as Clojure. The system is the combined experience of two solutions I've built for Tesco's Hudl tablet, and Channel4 video on demand. I will detail architectural choices and processing patterns which make Samsara ideal for large volume streaming analytics.
Although the talk will be focused on what Samsara has to offer and how it differs fromother streaming solutions, most of the patterns could be used in other contexts.

Bruno is a freelance software architect with over 20 years of experience, he helps data oriented companies to make sense of their huge volume of data using BigData technologies or building bespoke solutions.
Bruno is currently BigData Architect at Channel 4 television working within the R&D department to desing and build next generation data platforms. He previously worked for companies such Tesco, CISCO, Betfair and many more building high volumes and high performance systems.
