Title:
Foreign-Key Joins with Kafka Streams

Abstract:
Have you ever wished that KTable joins worked like SQL joins? Well, now they do! Foreign-key, many:one, joins were added to Kafka in KIP-213, to be released in Kafka 2.4.

In this meeting, we'll do a deep dive into the surprisingly
complex implementation required to compute these joins
correctly. Building on that understanding, we'll discuss how you can
expect Streams to behave when you use the feature, including
how to test it, and thoughts on optimization. We'll finish up by discussing how to implement real-world use cases.

Bio:
John is a software engineer at Confluent, focusing mainly on Kafka Streams. Prior to that, he spent 6 years building and operating the high-volume streaming data platform at Bazaarvoice. Before getting into software, he has also been a tech writer and (briefly) an English teacher.
