Title:
Architecting for Cloud-Native: Stream Processing Done Right using Apache Kafka

Abstract:
It might not strike you as a surprise that we are living in the Cloud era. With thousands of workloads working they way though the Cloud, developers from all around the world are absorbing new development practices about how to build Cloud-Native applications -- which drastically change the way they design these applications in which regards resource management, security, data jurisdiction, isolation, fault-tolerance and scalability. With Apache Kafka becoming a de-facto standard about how to collect/store/archive/process/stream data in real-time -- it is imperative that we also absorb Cloud-Native principles while building stream processing applications for it.

In this talk, we will look into how Cloud-Native affects the way we design stream processing applications for Apache Kafka, as well as which resources Confluent makes available for developers to make their life easier. Attendees of this talk will learn:

• Common pitfalls about designing Cloud-Native applications;
• Resources available for running Apache Kafka in the Cloud;
• KSQL: The easy-to-use language to handle streams of data;
