About us
Bienvenidos!
Nuestros amigos de el grupo meetup Apache Kafka Madrid han decidido que no desean colaborar con ninguna otra empresa para realizar meetups. Comprendemos su posición y les deseamos la mejor de las suertes.
A raíz de esto hemos decidido abrir este grupo para poder colaborar a crecer y apoyar la comunidad Apache Kafka® en Madrid.
En este grupo puedes esperar colaboración entre la comunidad y un espacio para que todos tengan una voz, si deseas exponer o apoyar el grupo de alguna otra manera seraís bienvenidos. Cualquier duda por favor dejarnos saber en community@confluent.io
Gracias!

1️⃣ Supercharging Grafana with Community Plugins by Imma Valls, Staff Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs
Grafana is powerful on its own, but its true potential lies in its vibrant community of plugin developers. In this talk, we'll delve into how community plugins extend Grafana's core functionality, enabling you to connect to a broader range of data sources and visualize your data in new and innovative ways. We'll introduce the Kafka Data Source plugin as a practical example, demonstrating how it enables you to directly query and visualize Kafka topic data in your dashboards, thereby bypassing the need for intermediate storage or external services.2️⃣ TBA by Dani Torramilans, Staff Engineer II at Warpstream

Securing data in motion the right wayAbstract:
Data streaming is powering everything from fraud detection and real-time analytics to patient monitoring and order fulfillment. But as the role of streaming grows, so does the risk - because many streaming platforms, like Apache Kafka, aren't secure by default.
In this talk, we'll take a practical look at data streaming security through the lens of Kafka, one of the most widely adopted streaming platforms in the world. We'll walk through what can go wrong - real examples of exposing 14M patient-doctor messages, or years of real-time delivery info to the internet - and what it takes to do it right.We'll cover the key pillars of securing a streaming system: encryption in transit and at rest, access control, monitoring, and key management. Along the way, we'll look at the trade-offs like disk encryption vs. end-to-end encryption, what is behind field-level and envelope encryption, and the realities of using customer-managed keys in regulated industries.
We'll also explore how streaming security has evolved, how real vulnerabilities (like CVE-2019-12399) highlight the need for patching and monitoring, and what successful multi-layered security looks like in production - from financial institutions to healthcare platforms.
If you're building, running, or scaling streaming systems, this talk will help you see the security blind spots and give you concrete steps to protect the data flowing through your pipelines.Bio:
