8LU - Keynote by Michael Baker

Join us Friday, February 3rd, for a keynote presentation by Michael Baker!

Lunch will be provided.

Title: The Beauty of Kafka

Abstract: Kafka is a simple, powerful message bus built on the idea of immutable message streams. This presentation will cover the conceptual model of Kafka, why that model is useful in practice, and what it's like to run Kafka in production. Trunk Club has been using Kafka in production for over a year and we're still discovering new ways we can use it to make our systems simpler and more robust.

Bio: Michael is a staff engineer at Trunk Club.
