What we’re about
90% believe Kubernetes is ready for stateful workloads, but few patterns exist for building and operating data-centric applications on Kubernetes. The Data on Kubernetes Community (DoKC) exists to help end users jumpstart or advance your journey running data on Kubernetes.
We have content for seasoned pros and those who are just getting started. We hope you'll join us our virtual meetups that spotlight DoK case studies, use cases, how-tos and more!
## Learn
DoKC has produced a range of resources for end users looking to run DoK including:
- DoK Landscape. An interactive landscape of products and services for running data workloads on Kubernetes.
- Videos and Blogs. Over 700+ videos and blogs including how tos, tutorials, use cases, case studies, and more.
- DoK Reports. DoKC works with an independent research firm to annually produce the industry’s only DoK-focused report.
- Livestreams and Local Meetups. Regular virtual livestreams on DoK-related topics including demos, tutorials, visionary talks, panels, and more.
- DoK Days @ KubeCon. We host hybrid events for people to get together and learn in-person or online. Details are published on our main website.
## Communicate
You can connect with us in many ways. Below is a list of our primary channels to join discussions within DoKC:
- Slack - join thousands of other practitioners to discuss DoK.
- YouTube - hundreds of videos to learn DoK.
- Twitter @DoKCommunity - DoK-related content and info.
- LinkedIn - DoK-related content and info.
## Contribute
- Host your own local, in-person meetup. Join the DoK Slack #wg-events for details on how to start your own local meetup.
- We also facilitate the DoK Operator Special Interest Group (SIG) that discusses ways to solve operator challenges on behalf of end users. Join the DoK Slack #sig-operator to learn more and participate.

Past, Present, and Future: Redis, Valkey, and what comes nextSpeakers:
Kyle Davis Senior Developer Advocate & Open Source Leader for ValkeyDescription:
Valkey is an open source (BSD) high-performance key/value datastore that supports a variety of workloads such as caching, message queues, and can act as a primary database. Valkey can run as either a standalone daemon or in a cluster, with options for replication and high availability.In this talk you'll learn about Valkey the Linux Foundation fork of (now not open source) Redis, what's staying the same and what's evolving, and how the project is approaching containers and operators.

Data Streaming on Kubernetes with Apache Kafka and StrimziSpeakers:
Jakub Sholz Senior Principal Software Engineer at Red HatDescription:
Apache Kafka is the leading platform for building real-time data pipelines and event-driven systems. It provides support for high-throughput/low-latency messaging, as well as data ingress, egress, and processing capabilities. But running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes has its challenges. In this talk, we will introduce Strimzi - a CNCF Incubating project that focuses on running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes using the operator pattern. It simplifies the "day 1" and "day 2" operations and lets you run Kafka on Kubernetes in a Kubernetes native way. This includes not only the Kafka brokers, but also the other server components of Apache Kafka such as Kafka Connect, and management of topics, users, or connectors. - DoK Town Hall: Building a Multi-Cloud Multi-Region DBaaSLink visible for attendees
We're excited to host our monthly DoKC Town Hall virtual event in January 2025! This is an event to bring the community together to meet each other, share end-user journey stories, DoK-related projects and technologies, and keep you up-to-date on community events and ways to participate. Meetings will be held on the third Thursday of each month at 10am PT.

Building a Multi-Cloud Multi-Region DBaaS with:
George Hantzaras Director of Engineering, MongoDB
Dan McKean Senior Product Manager, MongoDBDescription:
As businesses increasingly operate in multi-cloud and multi-region environments, managing databases across these distributed landscapes presents unique challenges and opportunities. This presentation will provide a comprehensive guide to building a multi-cloud, multi-region Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) on Kubernetes. We will discuss strategies for deploying and managing distributed databases across multi-cluster setups that ensure high availability, data redundancy, and seamless disaster recovery. Key topics include setting up multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters, leveraging cloud-native database solutions, and automating database operations using Kubernetes Operators.[10:55 AM]
