South Bay.NET: Stream Processing with Apache Kafka and .NET

Apache Kafka is a scalable streaming platform that forms a key part of the infrastructure at many companies including Uber, Netflix, Walmart, Airbnb, Goldman Sachs and LinkedIn. In this talk Matt will give a technical overview of Kafka, discuss some typical use cases (from surge pricing to fraud detection to web analytics) and show you how to use Kafka from within your C#/.NET applications.
