Title:
Apache Kafka - Why do I need it?

Abstract:
Stream Processing can be used in place of traditional message brokers in many solutions where low-latency, ordered delivery and scalability are important. In this session discover sample use cases where Apache Kafka can replace or supplement existing platforms and what benefits such architecture decisions can bring.

Title:
KSQL – An Open Source SQL Streaming Engine for Apache Kafka

Abstract

The rapidly expanding world of stream processing can be daunting, with new concepts such as various types of time semantics, windowed aggregates, changelogs, and programming frameworks to master.

KSQL is an open-source, Apache 2.0 licensed streaming SQL engine on top of Apache Kafka which aims to simplify all this and make stream processing available to everyone. Benefits of using KSQL include: No coding required; no additional analytics cluster needed; streams and tables as first-class constructs; access to the rich Kafka ecosystem. This session introduces the concepts and architecture of KSQL. Use cases such as Streaming ETL, Real Time Stream Monitoring or Anomaly Detection are discussed. A live demo shows how to setup and use KSQL quickly and easily on top of your Kafka ecosystem.
