Title of Talk:
Overview of Kafka streams and tables

Abstract:
In this talk I will present the building blocks of Apache Kafka: events, streams, and tables. I will explain how all elements fit together and what is happening under the hood. Then we will move to more advanced areas like data storage and partitioning to end up discussing how events are processed.

Speaker two:
Robin Moffatt, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent

Title of Talk:
An introduction to ksqlDB

Abstract:
You've got streams of data that you want to process and store? You've got events from which you'd like to derive state or build aggregates? And you want to do all of this in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner? It's just as well that Kafka and ksqlDB exist!
This talk will be built around a live demonstration of the concepts and capabilities of ksqlDB. We'll see how you can apply transformations to a stream of events from one Kafka topic to another. We'll use ksqlDB connectors to bring in data from other systems and use this to join and enrich streams—and we'll serve the results up directly to an application, without even needing an external data store.
Attendees will learn:

• How to process streams of events
• The semantics of streams and tables, and of push and pull queries
• How to use the ksqlDB API to get state directly from the materialised store
• What makes ksqlDB elastically scalable and fault-tolerant.

Bio:
Robin is a Developer Advocate at Confluent, the company founded by the original creators of Apache Kafka, as well as an Oracle ACE Director and Developer Champion. His career has always involved data, from the old worlds of COBOL and DB2, through the worlds of Oracle and Hadoop, and into the current world with Kafka. His particular interests are analytics, systems architecture, performance testing and optimization. He blogs at http://cnfl.io/rmoff and http://rmoff.net/ (and previously http://ritt.md/rmoff).
