Talk:
Audit Logs at Confluent: Harnessing Kafka to Deliver 10 Billion Messages a Day

Abstract:
Audit logs are critical for security, compliance, and operational insights—but managing them at scale can be challenging. At Confluent, we’ve built a robust system that processes over 10 billion messages daily, with Apache Kafka serving as the backbone for our end-to-end pipeline.

In this talk, I’ll share how we use Kafka as the source, store, and destination, incorporating Kafka Streams to filter, redact, and transform audit logs in real-time. You’ll learn about the challenges we faced, the trade-offs made, and the patterns we adopted to scale the system reliably.
Attendees will gain practical insights into building a production-grade system capable of handling audit logs efficiently and at massive scale.

Bio:
Jinit Shah is a Senior Software Engineer at Confluent, where he works with the observability team. A graduate of BITS Pilani (2022), Jinit has contributed to several initiatives around audit logs in Confluent Cloud, focusing on enhancing data pipelines and improving system efficiency.
