Talk:
Beyond the Broken Lake: Unifying Operational & Analytical Data with Apache Iceberg and Kafka

Abstract:
Our analytical data lakes are often slow, inconsistent, and hard to manage due to legacy table formats. This talk details how Apache Iceberg fixes this by providing ACID transactions, Time Travel, and painless schema evolution for huge datasets. We'll explore the Tableflow concept: eliminating complex ETL by turning Kafka topics directly into high-quality, transactionally consistent Iceberg tables, instantly bridging the gap between streams and analytics.

Talk:
Serverless Kafka Consumers

Abstract:
Apache Kafka is the undisputed engine for demanding streaming workloads, but the complexity of managing it—and its consumer fleet—is legendary. Join us to explore a complete serverless metamorphosis on Google Cloud, designed to give you Kafka's full power without the operational tax. We'll dive into the architecture that couples the low-latency reliability of Managed Service for Apache Kafka with the dynamic scalability of the new Cloud Run Worker Pools. Learn how this powerful combination eliminates infrastructure management and auto-scales your consumer fleet effortlessly based on metrics like consumer group lag. Build a powerful, highly resilient, and truly serverless processing pipeline, freeing your team to focus purely on business logic.
