Title:
Apache Kafka® Rethinked: From Messaging to Streaming Data Platform

Abstract:
Apache Kafka has been around for several years, and it is one of the hottest technologies out there. With one of the largest communities around the world, it is almost impossible to have someone that would never had heard about it. However, the concrete understanding of what Apache Kafka really is might be a little outdated for many people. This talk will explain what a Streaming Data Platform is and how Apache Kafka plays a key role in it. There will be discussions about some of the use cases and design patterns around its use -- including several examples of where it is solving real business problems. Finally, the talk will also introduce KSQL and what it can do for you to make your life easier.
