Craft Conference Data Meetup

We are getting some of the best data-specialists from Craft Conference to give a few talks here at our meetups right before they speak at the conference!

This is a joint event with the Budapest Big Data Meetup group

Building Event Driven Systems with Apache Kafka & Kafka Streams

Event Driven Systems come in many shapes and sizes from tiny functions that dip into an event stream right through to heavy, stateful streaming services. This talk examines the fundamentals of distributed logs and stateful stream processing, contrasting the event driven approach with REST/RPC-based methods. Then we’ll walk through a number of patterns for putting such systems together, evolving a typical monolith into a rich, globally deployed, event-driven ecosystem.
