From code to scale: Building cloud-native with open source tools

Abstract:
Join UpCloud and Aiven for an engaging session on cloud-native infrastructure and real-time data processing.

We'll explore how Pulumi simplifies Kubernetes and database management through infrastructure as code - streamlining deployments, enhancing security, and improving operational efficiency. Discover how organizations use Pulumi to unify cloud infrastructure across diverse environments.

We'll also dive into scaling real-time data flows in the European cloud with Change Data Capture (CDC) and Apache Kafka, covering best practices for building scalable CDC pipelines with open-source tools while ensuring data sovereignty and compliance.

Whether you're optimizing cloud operations or developing high-performance data systems, this event will offer valuable insights to enhance your cloud strategy.
