Drivetribe’s Kappa Architecture With Apache Flink®

Hello to all Squirrels out there. Hope you are enjoying summer in London. We are always here to keep things interesting, and this time we do so by delving into the automotive social media “DriveTribe” platform (stylised as D_TRB). https://drivetribe.com/. Have a look at the abstract below for more inside on our next exciting talk.

Abstract:

Drivetribe is the world’s digital hub for motoring, as envisioned by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. The Drivetribe platform was designed ground up with high scalability in mind. Built on top of the Event Sourcing/CQRS pattern, the platform uses Apache Kafka as its source of truth and Apache Flink as its processing backbone. The engineering team at Drivetribe will provide an architecture overview, and then proceed to talk about counting large datasets with probabilistic data structures and managing transactions with the Saga pattern.

Speakers:

Aris Koliopoulos, Alex Garella, Joan Goyeau.

Team Bio:

“The Drivetribe engineering team comprises of Aldo Stracquadanio, Alex Garella, Aris Koliopoulos, Geoffrey Bergeret, Giulio De Luise, Hamish Dickson, Joan Goyeau and Teo Danciu. Massive nerds. They share a common passion for immutability, category theory, type-level programming and engineering complex distributed systems. They also like to talk about those things, and because normal people at the pub refuse to listen for more than 5 seconds, they are organising this meetup.”

Cheers,
