Abstracts

Talk: Nautilus - Near’s Big Data Platform

As part of this session, we will discuss in detail how Near is handling 8B+ requests per day and processing 12TB+ of data passing via Kafka cluster to go through pre-processing pipelines to reach different destinations for further processing.

----

Talk: Stream Processing fundamentals and Introduction to ksqlDB

The rapidly evolving world of streaming data can be daunting, This is a primer to stream processing and will cover the basics of Kafka, Events, Streams, Tables. We will also introduce ksqlDB, walk through what's new with KSQL - pull queries and connector management and how this allows ksqlDB to become the core of your event streaming applications.

----

Talk: Building a big data platform from scratch

In this talk, we will discuss the tech stack at Goibibo(now part of MakeMyTrip) and lessons learned while building the data platform from the ground up and what's next.

----

Talk: Monitoring and alerting for Kafka

We will discuss KAFQA (a tool for Kafka quality analyzer, measuring data loss, ops and latency) and how our monitoring and alerting changed over time in Gojek. We will also discuss specifics of few configs and it's need, eg: under replicated partitions became normal than being alert if cluster is set up properly
