Fast Data in Supply Chain Planning

In this talk I will explain how we are currently migrating one of the top 3 consumer packaged goods companies from a batch oriented systems architecture to a streaming platform. We will discuss the business benefits of streaming in supply chain planning, how concepts from domain driven design enable our strangler approach to developing the new platform in parallel to the existing solution. We talk about how Kafka and it's four main API's play a central role in this architecture, what we learned from integrating with legacy systems using CDC (Change Data Capture) and finally a key insight we gained during the project namely that streams <3 enterprise integration patterns.

Bio Jeroen Soeters
I am a tech lead for ThoughtWorks NYC. I work predominantly on distributed event-driven systems or micro services architectures. Prior to joining ThoughtWorks I ran a startup for many years and had a few short-lived consulting experiments all in the Netherlands where I grew up.

I'm a long-time DDD practitioner, functional programming aficionado and relentless learner. My biggest passion at the moment is neuroevolution, a branch of machine learning that uses evolutionary computation to generate artificial neural networks.

Currently I'm based out of NYC where I'm often found in bars that serve proper Belgian beer.

Note re: RSVPs

As usual, seats are limited. Please consider carefully before answering yes. We usually have people on the waiting list. A significant number of people cancel during the last 24h before the meetup. This is too late for people on the waiting list to change their plans, so a lot of seats remain unfilled. It's also disrespectful to sponsors, who put in effort to provide space, catering, extra personnel, ... We deliberately keep these events free of charge, and appreciate your help in keeping it that way.
