Speaker:
Danica Fine, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent

Bio:
Danica Fine is a Senior Developer Advocate at Confluent where she helps others get the most out of their event-driven pipelines. Prior to this role, she served as a software engineer on a streaming infrastructure team at Bloomberg where she predominantly worked on Kafka Streams- and Kafka Connect-based projects. Her expertise in streaming systems has taken her to a number of conferences and speaking engagements over the years, giving her the chance to express her love of Kafka to anyone who will listen. She can be found on Twitter, tweeting about tech, plants, and baking @TheDanicaFine.

Talk:
Practical Pipelines: A Houseplant Alerting System with ksqlDB

Abstract:
"Houseplants can be hard – in many cases, over- and under-watering can have the same symptoms. Take away the guesswork involved in caring for your houseplants while also gaining valuable experience in building a practical, event-driven pipeline in your own home! This talk explores the process of building a houseplant monitoring and alerting system using a Raspberry Pi and Apache Kafka.Moisture and temperature readings are captured from sensors in the soil and streamed into Kafka. From here, we’ll use stream processing to transform the data, creating a summary view of the current state and driving real-time push alerts to your phone through Telegram. In this session, I’ll talk about how I ingest the data, followed by a look at the tools, including ksqlDB and Kafka Connect, that will help transform the raw data into useful information.By the end of the talk, you’ll have everything you need to start building practical streaming pipelines in your own home. Roll up your sleeves – let’s get our hands dirty!"

Speaker:
Kris Jenkins, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent

Bio:
Kris Jenkins is the former CTO of a gold-trading company, contractor for a number of internet startups, and now Developer Advocate at Confluent. He enjoys anything that makes system architecture simpler and more reliable (like functional programming and event-based systems), and anything that puts the fun back into coding (like meetups, hackathons, and playing with new technology). Kris lives in London with his noun phrase and two subjunctive clauses.

Talk:
Dashing Off A Dashboard

Abstract:
How much can we accomplish with Kafka in 40 minutes of coding? Let's find out! In this live-coding session, we'll build a real-time sales dashboard from scratch and see how you:

\- Set up a Kafka Consumer with Python\.
\- Easily handle real\-time Stream Processing with ksqlDB\.
\- Build out a WebSocket server to broadcast live data to your users\.
\- Create a basic React app to visualise data in a way anyone can access\.

We'll start with an empty directory and by the end, you'll have all the foundational pieces of a dashboard that could serve KPIs to everyone in your organisation, or just form the basis of your next lunchtime hacking session.
