Kafka Events and RESTful APIs - the best of both worlds!Abstract:
Kafka is synonymous with event-driven and data-driven integration, however, there are times when RESTful interaction patterns to your underlying data is required. How do we assemble the diametrically opposed world-view of Event-Driven integration with that of more traditional Request-Response RESTful APIs.This presentation explores the use of Confluent Cloud KSQL Engine, and how you can develop both Event-Driven and RESTful APIs to interact with your underlying data in BOTH event-driven and request-response interaction patterns.
We explore a sample Order Management System and demonstrate how we can produce and consume events to manage the state of the underlying Orders in the Order Management System, but also provide RESTful APIs that accesses and manages underlying data stored in Kafka.

Securing Kafka Event Data & Selective EncryptionAbstract:
In today's data-driven world, the security and integrity of event data are paramount. This presentation explores the integration of Kafka clients with a robust and flexible secrets management solution, to enhance the security of event data in transit and at rest.We begin by addressing the challenges of securing Kafka event data, emphasizing the need for protection against data breaches, compliance issues, and unauthorized access.
We'll outline the step-by-step process of integrating Kafka clients with a secret management solution, including setup, configuring policies and authentication methods, and implementing data encryption and decryption logic within Kafka clients.
We'll delve into the concept of selective encryption, where specific fields within Kafka events are encrypted using secure keys.
This enables organizations to protect sensitive data, such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or financial information, without compromising the integrity of the entire event.***
