Please register for this event [here](https://factorhouse.io/events/melbourne-workshop-building-resilient-event-driven-systems-with-kafka-and-flink). **Go beyond theory and build a production-ready event stream** Join us for a practitioner-led, hands-on workshop where you'll design, build, and operate a complete real-time operational system from the ground up. We're teaming up with NetApp Instaclustr and Ververica to run this intensive half-day workshop. **What You'll Build** A resilient, real-time operational backbone powered by a Quarkus API, Kafka Streams, Apache Kafka®, and Apache Flink®. You'll implement a stateful order processing and inventory management system that processes live events in real time, the kind of critical infrastructure that powers payment processing, fleet coordination, inventory systems, and customer-facing applications across industries. **Two Architectural Patterns, One Mission** You'll implement and contrast two powerful approaches to building event-driven systems: **\- Pattern 1: Direct Event Publishing** Build a pipeline where the API writes events directly to Kafka, with a Flink job managing downstream state. Experience the challenges of application-level dual writes in real time. **\- Pattern 2: Change Data Capture \(CDC\)** Refactor for resilience by capturing database changes with CDC. Your API simplifies to database-only writes while Flink handles event publishing, demonstrating how CDC decouples applications from event pipelines and creates more robust data flows. **Operate With Confidence** Integrate **Kpow** and **Flex** to gain deep visibility into your Kafka and Flink data flows. You'll learn how to make your streaming systems more observable, accessible, and operationally efficient, skills that translate directly to production environments. **Who Should Attend** Software and data engineers, platform/SRE teams, and architects adopting streaming and event-driven architectures. Whether you're building payment systems, logistics platforms, or real-time analytics, this workshop gives you practical experience choosing the right patterns for your workloads. **Please note:** Spots are limited and attendees in engineering roles will be prioritised to ensure an optimal hands-on learning environment.

In this talk, we explore how to apply unit and contract testing across the Fabric stack: * Pipeline unit tests for reliable orchestration and data movement * Python notebook testing using both notebook-first and package-first approaches * SQL contract testing to ensure downstream dependencies remain stable By the end, you’ll have a practical blueprint for building robust, testable Fabric workloads from Bronze to Gold. **Pre-requisites**: Basic understanding of Fabric and python **Sponsors:** **Vivanti** A big thank you goes out to our sponsor, Vivanti, for their support of this Meetup; providing the venue as well as drinks for attendees. **Sirius Technology (https://www.siriuspeople.com.au/)** A big thank also to our co-sponsor, Sirius Technology, for their ongoing support of our Meetup and providing us with food for each event.

**AJ Bajada & Danidu Weerasinghe - What's new in Azure and GitHub** A fast, practical tour of the newest innovations across Azure and GitHub. We’ll break down the latest cloud capabilities, AI‑powered developer tools, security enhancements, and DevOps integrations that are transforming how teams build and ship software. **Dylan McCarthy - Managed DevOps Pools - Simplifying Build Agents for Azure DevOps** Managing build agents for Azure DevOps has always been a bit of a pain, requiring teams to create VMs or VM Scale Sets, maintain their images, manage spinning up and down resources to manage cost and build times. In this talk I want to show you how you can abstract away a lot of that pain by using Managed DevOps Pools. I will walk you through what the service is, it's features and then show you how to connect a pool to an Azure DevOps environment.

Mental Health, how do you understand it? How can you improve it? How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp. This group is hosted by the Dianetics and Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
