Title:
Leverage Kafka to build a stream processing Platform as a Service

Speaker:
Jessy Jordan, Staff Software Engineer - Frontend, Meroxa

Abstract:
In this talk, you’ll learn how we built our stream processing platform as a service (PaaS) at Meroxa with Apache Kafka at its core. You’ll not only learn why we chose Kafka as an integral part of our infrastructure, but also how we leveraged Kafka in a micro-service architecture successfully. We’ll share our learnings on using Kubernetes for managing Kafka instances, on continuous monitoring of Kafka connectors and how Kafka contributes to the outstanding scalability, observability and extensibility of our platform.
