💡 **Speaker One:**
Dunith Danushka, Senior Developer Advocate, Redpanda

**Title of Talk:**
Stream processing with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink

**Abstract:**
Join us for a comprehensive discussion on stream processing with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. This talk is designed for those who have some working knowledge of Kafka and are looking to learn more about stream processing.

The first part of our talk will focus on introducing stream processing with Flink. We begin by discussing stateless operations in Flink. Then we dive into how Flink handles the state and time concepts, covering a range of topics including stateful aggregations, window processing, and joins. Furthermore, we will explore some advanced topics, such as fault tolerance, state checkpointing, and event time processing, shedding light on its importance in stream processing.

The second half of the talk transitions from theory to practice, and will be more hands-on. We will guide you through the process of building a Flink application in Java. This segment is designed to provide a practical understanding of how to write, build, and deploy an application to a Flink cluster. We will demonstrate how this application is set up to ingest data from a Kafka topic, deploy it to a Flink cluster, and monitor how it operates under various conditions.

This talk is an excellent opportunity to enhance your understanding of these powerful tools. It will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to build robust stream processing applications with Apache Kafka and Apache Flink.

**Title of Talk:**
The Kafka Consumer: An Unexpected Journey of Data Consumption

**Abstract:**
Once your data is stored on your Apache Kafka® cluster, the next step is to consume that data and do something interesting with it. Enter: Kafka Consumers. We all know how to set up a Kafka Consumer to poll data… but do you know how a consumer fetches the data from the cluster? Let’s find out!

Every call to consumer.poll() is translated into a low-level request which is sent along to the brokers for fulfillment. In this session, we’ll join Kafka Consumers as they embark on their epic adventure to consume your data. First, see how these clients band together in a single fellowship and follow the guidance of their consumer group coordinator. Then, follow a request from an initial call to poll(), all the way to disk, and back to the client with your data via the broker’s final response. Along the way, we’ll explore a number of client and broker configurations that affect how these requests are handled and discuss the metrics that you can monitor to keep track of every stage of the consumer life cycle.

By the end of this session, you’ll know the ins and outs of your Kafka Consumer requests, making your next debugging or performance analysis session a breeze.
