Real-world deployments with Apache Kafka

Join us for our next Raleigh Apache Kafka meetup on Tuesday October 17th at 6:00pm, hosted by The Nest.

Apache Kafka™ is a streaming platform that provides real-time data at massive scale. Like a central nervous system, Apache Kafka-based streaming platform unites your organization around a single source of truth. It scales from a laptop to managing streaming for some of the largest companies in the world. We will walk through customer use cases and show a demo of an end-to-end real-world deployment. The Confluent experts behind Apache Kafka will be available for questions and discussion afterward. Of course, pizza will be provided. See you there!

Agenda:
6:00pm: Doors open
6:00pm - 6:15pm: Networking, Pizza and Drinks
15pm - 7:15pm: Real-world deployments with Apache Kafka
7:15pm - 7:30pm: Additional Q&A and Networking
