Title of Talk:
Build a Kafka Streaming Data Pipeline for Data Analytics Cloud Services

Abstract:
Organizations are rapidly moving to the cloud to solve their data storage and data analytics challenges while reducing time-to-insight is the primary driver for these business investments. When most enterprise data is still stored in on-premises silos, we need to build a streaming data pipeline to collect data changes in real-time, process it and feed it into the data analytics cloud service. In this talk, we will explore how Apache Kafka can be used to implement one that extracts data stored in third normal form from an RDBMS, streams it to the cloud and feeds it in a usable form into Google BigQuery.

Bio:
Perry Krol is a Systems Engineer at Confluent, the company founded by the creators of Apache Kafka. His career has always revolved around architecting real-time distributed systems for enterprises across a variety of industries. From the early days of integrating packaged applications using EAI technologies that evolved into building SOA’s on top of an ESB, to turning insight into real-time actions with the help of Event Stream Processing and CEP frameworks, to exposing the capabilities of such systems as secure and managed API’s to wider business eco-systems. At Confluent, all his past experiences come together as he helps customers to create real-time data driven applications on the Apache Kafka streaming platform that are deployed and operated on-premises, in the cloud and hybrid environments.
