➤➤ TALK 1: Gophers guide to Data Streaming at Scale with Benthos ➤➤

Benthos (https://www.benthos.dev/) is a declarative data streaming service written in Go. The talk will dive into both real-time streaming and batch ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) workflows as well as scalability requirements for such systems, then zoom into Benthos and describe its core functionality, usage examples, extensibility, and monitoring. Finally, it will cover open source development, future plans and guidelines for building a vibrant contributor community.

Mihai is a seasoned software engineer and technical leader focused on mentoring peers and designing, building, and scaling distributed microservice-based cloud-agnostic systems and Data Streaming products by writing and leveraging Open Source software using Go and running it in the Cloud on Kubernetes. He is a contributor to https://www.benthos.dev/, the stream processor of choice for mundane tasks.

➤➤ TALK 2: Consumer Driven Contract Testing ➤➤

The microservice architecture brings many valuable attributes into a scaling organization: reliability, fault tolerance, etc. But with that scaling comes increased complexity in understanding the platform's quality. Consumer driven contract testing is a pattern to build confidence in allowing decoupled changes to be made without creating incidents.

Kevin is an Engineering Manager at Route in Lehi, Utah. Kevin has worked for 17 years in a variety of companies from large enterprises to pre-seed startups. He is passionate about building teams that deliver scalable solutions.

➤➤ TALK 3: Autoscaling Kinesis using Go ➤➤

Nemesis is a small lightweight, easy-to-integrate open source project created by Route to autoscale Kinesis Data Streams. Currently, there is no native way provided by AWS to achieve this and Nemesis helps to solve this problem effectively and efficiently.

Venkata S S K M Chaitanya, is a Senior Software Engineer and a member of Northstar at Route. He has been working in Go for 4 years, and he is a a contributor for the following Open Source projects

• Cyclops (https://github.com/flannel-dev-lab/cyclops) V3 coming soon
• Reqestor (https://github.com/flannel-dev-lab/Requestor)
• Nemesis
