Title:
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Apache Kafka (But Were Afraid to Ask)

Abstract:
Apache Kafka continues to shine amongst the developer community as its adoption grows faster and strong. But does all developers fully understand how it works? This talk will give a fair intro into Kafka and answer common questions that every developer starting to learn Kafka asks -- commonly over channels like StackOverflow. If you ever wonder if increasing the number of partitions in a topic will make Kafka slower or not, this session is for you!
