Kafka, Stream Processor and a DB … && Starting your engineering company is easy

Hey @all,

we like to invite you to our monthly meetup at the trivago tower in Düsseldorf. In November, we have two talks:

• Mario Müller (https://twitter.com/xenji) with Kafka, a Stream Processor and a Database come into a bar …

• Hendrik Kleinwaechter (https://github.com/hendricius) with Starting your engineering company is easier than expected

Mario Müller (https://twitter.com/xenji) with Kafka, a Stream Processor and a Database come into a bar …

Kafka, a Stream Processor and a Database walk into a bar. They start to talk about their relationships, about the way change-data-capturing and reactive architectures changes the way the world sees their data flow. We will be a visitor in this chat of past and future technologies and try to follow what their challenges are and why this new relationship makes them all together stronger than ever before.

Mario (https://twitter.com/xenji) leads a team of brave people at trivago, who fearlessly encounter new technologies like Kafka, Debezium and Kotlin. He is a former database architect who now seeks his destiny in streaming, CDC and reactive systems.

Language of the talk: English

Hendrik Kleinwaechter (https://github.com/hendricius) with Starting your engineering company is easier than expected

In this talk Hendrik will walk you through the steps required to start your own engineering company. It's easier than expected with only few small pitfalls. We will address a couple of good hacks to recruit the first clients for your company.

Hendrik (https://github.com/hendricius) has started his first company whilst still at school. Since then it has been a roller-coaster with ups, downs, almost insolvencies and a couple of other good fuck ups. It's been a hell of a ride so far but always a lot of fun.
