Ram Sinha, Engineering Data Platform, Careem

Title of Talk:
Ensuring data governance via encryption to achieve highest level of compliance

Abstract:
Data integrity and security has become one of the highest importance with the rise of various legal frameworks around data storage/processing/consumption and is taken very seriously at Careem. Careem’s data-platform infrastructure relies on Apache Kafka® as a source of truth as its first point of interaction after data generation.

To address these challenges in a self-servable manner. The Data-Platform team at Careem has developed customized tooling to interact with Kafka and ensure field-level encryption of Kafka messages on a real time basis. In this talk, we will deep dive into the challenge of securing Kafka events on the fly and share technical details of how Careem is addressing holistically.

We will conclude the talk by providing a detailed roadmap on how to solve other related problems around data lineage, data discovery, data-erasure, data auditing and access control.

Speaker Two:
Tim Berglund, Sr Director, Developer Advocacy, Confluent

Title of Talk:
What’s Past is Prologue: A Story of Event-Driven Architecture

Abstract:
The growth of Kafka inside an organization sometimes follows the development of the broader Kafka ecosystem over its lifetime. The initial use case may be something conceptually simple, like mainframe offload or point-to-point integration, evoking the simple Large Pipe architectures of Kafka’s infancy.

This talk traces this development, ending with a comprehensive vision of an event-driven architecture suitable for the next generation of information technology deployments. You’ll leave knowing where you need to go and how this new architectural paradigm will help you get there.
