💡 Speaker:
Ashish Tiwari, Sr. Developer Advocate (Elastic)

Talk:
Monitoring Kafka using Elastic Observability

Abstract:
In this talk we will see how to keep an eye on your Kafka setup with Elastic Observability. It helps you track things like message flow, consumer lag, and broker health in real time. Spot issues quickly and ensure your Kafka runs smoothly.

Bio:
Ashish, a former software engineer and startup co-founder, is now a Senior Developer Advocate at Elastic. Passionate about tech, he empowers the community with Elastic Stack solutions and explores Generative AI

Talk:
Building an ELT Pipeline: Streaming Data from Postgres to Elasticsearch with Airbyte and Kafka

Abstract:
In this talk, we’ll explore how to build an efficient ELT pipeline to synchronize data from PostgreSQL to Elasticsearch using Airbyte and Kafka. The pipeline transforms and consolidates data from multiple PostgreSQL tables into a single Elasticsearch document, enabling fast and scalable search capabilities. We’ll discuss the challenges encountered, the strategies used for real-time synchronization, and how Kafka’s message streaming and Airbyte’s connectors simplify the process.

What the audience will learn:

• ELT vs. ETL: Understand why ELT pipelines are gaining traction for modern data integration and how they reduce operational overhead.
• Toolchain Integration: Step-by-step guidance on configuring Airbyte connectors for PostgreSQL and Elasticsearch, with Kafka as a fault-tolerant event streaming layer.
• Denormalization Techniques: How to merge data from multiple relational tables into a single, optimized Elasticsearch document for faster search and analytics.
• Real-Time Syncing: Implement Kafka to handle incremental data changes and ensure near-real-time updates in Elasticsearch.

Bio:
Kalpesh is a tech lead with 16+ years of experience who excels at getting things done. He has extensive expertise in designing and developing API-based backend systems in cloud environments, as well as crafting fast and responsive Mobile and Web UIs. As a Lead Software Engineer at One2N, Kalpesh drives backend engineering in Golang and Java, helping companies successfully launch products.

Talk:
Just enough queuing theory to be dangerous

Abstract:
Queues are everywhere around us - both in real life and in software systems. In this talk, you'll learn just enough queuing theory to make you better at building asynchronous and event-driven systems. You’ll understand how to monitor and scale asynchronous systems and how to do capacity planning. Although the title of the talk has the word “theory” in it, you'll understand the practical view and learn to use the principles of queueing theory in practice to solve a real-world use case at the scale of millions of requests per day.

We will also cover two production use cases where we used Kafka as a message bus and Elasticsearch as a search index, and how we leveraged both to handle scalability.

Bio:
Chinmay is a pragmatic engineer who believes good software engineering is about managing trade-offs well. He founded [One2N] (https://one2n.io/) to help startups solve their backend and reliability engineering problems during the growth phase. Talk to him any day about backend and reliability engineering, psychology, and playing percussion, he won't disappoint you.
