First Talk

Speaker:
Jay Kreps

Bio:
Jay Kreps is the CEO of Confluent, Inc., a company backing the popular Apache Kafka messaging system. Prior to founding Confluent, he was formerly the lead architect for data infrastructure at LinkedIn. He is among the original authors of several open source projects including Project Voldemort (a key-value store). Apache Kafka (a distributed messaging system) and Apache Samza (a stream processing system).

Title:
The Rise of the Streaming Platform

Abstract:

What happens if you take everything that is happening in your company — every click, every database change, every application log — and make it all available as a real-time stream of well structured data?

Jay will discuss the experience at LinkedIn and elsewhere moving from batch-oriented ETL to real-time streams using Apache Kafka. He’ll talk about how the design and implementation of Kafka was driven by this goal of acting as a real-time platform for event data. Jay will cover some of the challenges of scaling Kafka to hundreds of billions of events per day at Linkedin, supporting thousands of engineers, applications, and data systems in a self-service fashion.

He’ll describe how real-time streams can become the source of ETL into Hadoop or a relational data warehouse, and how real-time data can supplement the role of batch-oriented analytics in Hadoop or a traditional data warehouse.

Jay will also describe how applications and stream processing systems such as Storm, Spark, or Samza can make use of these feeds for sophisticated real-time data processing as events occur.

Second Talk

Speaker:
Kai Waehner

Title:
Highly Scalable Machine Learning in Real Time with Apache Kafka’s Streams API

Abstract:
Intelligent real time applications are a game changer in any industry. This session explains how companies from different industries build intelligent real time applications. The first part of this session explains how to build analytic models with R, Python or Scala leveraging open source machine learning / deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow or H2O. The second part discusses the deployment of these built analytic models to your own applications or microservices by leveraging the Apache Kafka cluster and Kafka’s Streams API instead of setting up a new, complex stream processing cluster. The session focuses on live demos and teaches lessons learned for executing analytic models in a highly scalable, mission-critical and performant way.
