Kafka na Gestão de Incidentes: Otimizando o Tempo de Atendimento do Command Center em Escala Massiva
**Abstract:**
Nesta palestra, apresentarei como a Elvenworks utiliza o Apache Kafka para streaming de dados em uma arquitetura distribuída, processando bilhões de eventos diários de monitoramento e observabilidade. Vamos explorar como essa estrutura permite escalar horizontalmente e integrar agentes de IA (via N8N) e bancos vetoriais para automação de runbooks. O case demonstrará como a performance do streaming foi fundamental para reduzir o tempo de atendimento dos analistas do Command Center de 15 para 6 minutos, com a meta de um MTTA de 5 minutos, garantindo agilidade e precisão na resolução de incidentes.

FIAP Meetup | Ela em Tech: decisões que escalam carreiras
Na carreira em tech, as decisões mais importantes podem acontecer em grandes momentos, esporadicamente. Mas o mais comum é que elas surjam no cotidiano, ao assumir novas responsabilidades, se movimentar internamente, escolher como se posicionar, ao dizer “sim” ou “não” a uma oportunidade ou ao reconhecer o momento certo de avançar.
Em celebração ao Dia Internacional das Mulheres e Meninas na Tecnologia, este encontro propõe uma conversa direta e pragmática sobre como as decisões de carreira são realmente definidas, sem fórmulas prontas ou narrativas idealizadas, considerando diferentes trajetórias, níveis de senioridade e contextos profissionais.
O painel reúne mulheres que atuam em áreas distintas da tecnologia para compartilhar perspectivas sobre decisões relacionadas a desenvolvimento profissional, promoção, mudança de área, exposição técnica, liderança e posicionamento no ambiente de trabalho.
**Quando**: 11/02
**Horário**: das 19h às 20h30
**Formato** híbrido:
FIAP Paulista – 6º andar coworking e Live pelo Youtube
