What we’re about
CloudAustin is a community for Austin area technology practitioners interested in learning and sharing about their experiences with cloud computing, DevOps, containerization, and other cutting edge technology architecture and practice.
We've been around for over 10 years. Our meetings are open to all, and has a mix of developers, systems/ops/DevOps, other technical (security, QA), sales and marketing, and product development folks attending regularly.
We have monthly meetings (free admission and we try to get sponsors to buy food for us) on the third Tuesday evening of the month. We are always looking for volunteers to speak or demo at the meetings and for sponsors to buy the food.

Kunal Sinha (45m) Lessons learned: replacing elastic search with a highly scalable alternative while using event-driven Architecture.
Kunal was recently involved in an effort to build a new platform for serving ultra-low latency, high-throughput data retrieval API requests. As part of this initiative, they moved away from Elastic Search due to its write-heavy indexing performance bottlenecks and designed a new event-driven architecture.
The new system leverages RedHat Debezium for change data capture, Kinesis for streaming, an in-house stream processor for real-time transformations, and Aurora PostgreSQL RDS for persistent storage.
In this talk, he'll detail the architecture of this highly scalable platform and share key learnings on managing eventual consistency in a distributed event-driven system, ensuring data integrity, and the operational challenges of building custom stream processing at scale.
