Speaker One:
Jan Svoboda, Advisory Solutions Engineering Consultant, Confluent

Title:
Building Event Streaming Microservices with Spring Boot and Apache Kafka

Abstract:
Developing cloud native microservices introduced us to many new challenges. One of the most difficult is to build reliable microservices integrations and their data exchange patterns. In this session I will share my 10 years of experience with building microservices and application runtime platforms with some of the largest European organisations. I will introduce basic principles of developing Java Spring Boot with Apache Kafka. These patterns can be used for: microservices communication decoupling, implementing microservices state stores, avoiding dependencies on traditional database systems.

This session is targeted for developers who are interested in learning new cloud native development practices and understanding how event streaming microservices improve their current work. Demo application code will be available to participants.

Bio:
Jan joined Confluent in April 2020 as a Solutions Engineer, establishing microservices development as his favourite topic. Jan holds degrees in Management of Information Systems from UNYP and Computer Science from UCF.

Speaker Two:
Oliver Lemp, Data Scientist, ENGEL Austria GmbH

Title:
These pots do not need lids: Building a real-time customer portal at Engel

Abstract:
Apache Kafka is a central tool at the digitalization strategy of Engel Austria. Looking back at the last few years, Kafka at Engel was solely used for live telemetric data-ingestion and data-processing. In this talk we will demonstrate how we are leveraging an event-driven architecture to establish bi-directional data integrity from sources like SAP that sets the base for our new customer portal at Engel. We also want to share our experiences with ksqlDB & Spring Boot and what pitfalls we had to face during our stream processing journey (spoiler: it works now).

Bio:
Oliver is the the leading engineer for everything related to data at ENGEL, Austria’s largest machine manufacturer, as the leading engineer for everything related to data. Since then, he has been facing new challenges every day and is trying to organize and make sense of machine-data – while attempting to adopt the ever-increasing value of data (and creativity) in the traditional machine manufacturing sector.
