Title of Talk:
The need for speed – Data streaming in the Cloud with Kafka®

Abstract:
As Kubernetes is quickly becoming the de facto standard for the cloud operating system is Apache Kafka becoming the data streaming.
Enterprise need more speed to get insights from fast growing data.
Kafka and Kubernetes are a perfect team for these use cases.
There are different options to run an Apache Kafka Cluster.
Besides managed a Kafka cluster by the different cloud providers, running Kafka on Kubernetes is becoming more and more popular.
We will introduce a setup, used components and recommendations from an own project with Kafka on Kubernetes.
Finally we will share our lessons learned from this still evolving field
