🎙️ ~Talk 1~
Talk Title: Dr. Streamlove, or: How I Learned to Stop Batching and Love the Stream

Summary: The suggestion of adopting streaming technologies usually receives undue resistance in organisations. In the past, there was a high barrier to entry for technologies such as Apache Kafka. Today a modern application team can use their preferred programming language with a variety of managed platforms and open source libraries, such as Quix. Join us as we show you how to approach streaming adoption with a modern mindset.

Key talk takeaways:

• Introduction to batch and stream concepts.
• Batch mindset vs stream mindset.
• Common reasons for resisting the adoption of streaming technologies.
• Recognising the signs that moving to streaming will be beneficial.
• How to take the first steps in adopting streaming technologies.

🎙️ ~Talk 2~
Talk Title: Unlocking the Power: Design Patterns in Streaming-Enabled Database Technologies

Summary: In the realm of Data-Intensive applications, Data Streaming and Data Persistence are indispensable pillars. Streaming-enabled databases, such as Aerospike, offer reusable solutions to tackle the common integration challenges that often arise between Databases, Streaming Technologies, and Microservices. Join us in this presentation as we delve deep into these design patterns.

Key talk takeaways:

• Understanding the concept of design patterns.
• Insight into Streaming-enabled databases.
• Recognizing typical integration issues between Data Streaming and Data Persistence technologies.
• Multiple design patterns to solve these common integration problems.
