Kafka for AI: Building Production-Grade GenAI & Agentic AI Systems
Abstract:
Explore how Apache Kafka powers modern AI applications beyond simple chatbots. This session covers how event driven architectures enable scalable GenAI, RAG, and Agentic AI systems using real-world patterns such as asynchronous processing, AI pipelines, multi-agent communication, and real-time data streaming. Through practical architecture examples from banking, cybersecurity, healthcare, and enterprise AI, attendees will learn how Kafka helps build resilient, scalable, and production ready AI platforms.

Talk:
Exactly Once Semantics in Kafka Connect
Abstract:
Exactly-Once Semantics (EOS) in Kafka Connect guarantees zero duplicates and zero data loss from source systems to Kafka, even during crashes or rebalances. It uses KIP-618's transactional producers, atomic offset commits, and zombie fencing to ensure every record is delivered precisely once — eliminating downstream deduplication complexity.
