📝 Agenda:

• 5:30 pm: Doors open

• 6:00 pm: Talk # 1 - Visualizing video game telemetry without breaking the bank
  Chase Horvath, Staff Solutions Engineer, Confluent
  Abstract: Games generate massive data streams, and many game studios rely on Kafka to ingest it. Cost is a limiting factor on the granularity of data they can collect, but more data leads to better decision making and a better player experience. Replacing traditional kafka with Confluent Freight clusters will reduce the cost of telemetry ingestion and still allow Studios to use downstream tools, like Elastic Cloud, to work with the data in near real time. Attendees will learn about the integration of Elastic Cloud and Confluent Freight, as well as gain some insights into what makes their favorite games come to life.
