April Scala Monthly Meetup

Agenda:

Akka (Cluster) in Practice by Peter Brachwitz (https://twitter.com/p_brc) (~ 25 min)
A talk reflecting on our experience with Akka Cluster in a recent project.

Don't Waste Your Logs - Logfile Monitoring with ELK by Gerhard Hipfinger (https://twitter.com/nano4711), openForce (http://openforce.com) (~ 30 min)
The ELK stack consists of Elasticsearch (https://www.elastic.co/products/elasticsearch) (realtime search cluster based on Apache Lucene), Logstash (http://logstash.net) (logfile aggregation), and Kibana (https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana) (HTML5 app to visualize JSON data) and can be used to bring astonishing insights in your collected log data. It does not matter where the log informations are from. Don't waste your logfiles and help your Dev and Ops team to better collaborate on logfile analysis.

Apache Kafka by Dominik Gruber (https://twitter.com/the_dom) (~ 10 min)
Kafka (http://kafka.apache.org) is "publish-subscribe messaging rethought as a distributed commit log". This tool is one of the most widely adopted Scala projects with users (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Powered+By) such as LinkedIn, Yahoo!, Twitter, and Netflix. Dominik will give a short introduction.
