1. How to Build a Cloud

From proof-of-concept to best in class, Confluent Cloud has come a long way in 2.5 years! In this talk we'll take a journey through the various iterations the product has taken. We'll explore the lessons we learned along the way, architectures that served different orders of magnitude as we scaled, useful optimizations made along the way, and the exciting future of our cloud product! We'll also discover how we scaled the developer experience internally from only a handful of engineers to hundreds!
