Rejoignez-nous pour une rencontre Apache Kafka® le mercredi 18 mars à partir de 18h00, organisée par meshIQ et SHAPES Studio! **Les présentations seront en français.** **📍Lieu** SHAPES Studio 92 Rue René Boulanger 75010 Paris **🗓 Programme** * 18h00 : Ouverture des portes/Accueil, Boissons * 18h30 - 19:20h : Gilles Philippart, Software Practice Lead, Confluent * 19:20h - 20h10 : JB Onofré, Ingénieur logiciel principal, Dremio + Directeur de la fondation Apache * 20:10h - 20h30 : Restauration, Questions-réponses supplémentaires, Networking **💡 Intervenant 1 :** Gilles Philippart, Software Practice Lead, Confluent **Discussion :** Streaming into Iceberg: Kafka Connect vs Flink vs Tableflow **Résumé :** Getting streaming data into Iceberg tables sounds simple—until you hit schema evolution, upserts and deletes, small file problems, and commit contention. In this talk, I’ll walk through the real-world challenges of streaming ingestion into Iceberg and compare three common approaches: Kafka Connect, Flink’s Iceberg sink, and Confluent Tableflow. **Biographie :** Gilles works at Confluent as a Software Practice Lead and has over twenty years of experience in the financial sector, primarily developing systems for investment banks. In recent times, he served as a Principal Engineer at a FinTech company, where he built a platform that offers loans to small and medium businesses in the blink of an eye. Through this work, he became a proponent of event-driven architectures with Apache Kafka and is now passionate about guiding others to leverage its advantages. Outside of work, Gilles enjoys reading books, whipping up culinary delights, and playing games with his daughter and wife. **💡 Intervenant 2 :** JB Onofré, Ingénieur logiciel principal, Dremio + Directeur de la fondation Apache **Discussion :** From Legacy Queues to Modern Tables: Bridging ActiveMQ, Kafka, and Apache Iceberg **Résumé :** Modern data platforms rarely start with a blank slate. Organizations often face the challenge of unifying "classic" messaging systems like **Apache ActiveMQ** with high-throughput streams like **Apache Kafka** to feed a unified analytical layer. In this session, we explore how to build a robust ingestion pipeline that captures events from diverse sources and commits them into **Apache Iceberg**. We will dive into: * **The Bridge:** Strategies for migrating or mirroring data from JMS-based ActiveMQ to Kafka. * **The Sink:** Using Kafka Connect and Iceberg’s native capabilities to handle schema evolution and ACID transactions. * **The Payoff:** How this architecture enables "time-travel" queries and high-performance analytics on streaming data without the "small-files" headache. **Biographie :** JB est directeur de la fondation Apache. Il est membre de plus de 20 projets Apache et également mentor sur de nombreux podlings. Il est aussi en charge de l'équiipe OSPO chez Dremio. \*\*\* AVERTISSEMENT Nous ne pouvons pas accueillir les personnes de moins de 18 ans. Si vous souhaitez intervenir ou organiser une future rencontre, veuillez contacter community@confluent.io

Retrouvez-nous pour une édition exceptionnelle chez Apple ! 🙌 Une pièce d'identité sera demandée, utilisez votre nom complet pour vous inscrire, pas de pseudo ! Au programme (les talks seront en français) : \* Claire Sivadier - Who let the App intents out ? 🐾 Who says you need to open an app to use it? With App Intents, I tracked walks with my puppy 🐶 without taking out my iPhone. Learn how to extend your app beyond the UI using Siri, Shortcuts, Spotlight, and widgets hands-free, in pure Swift. \* Sebastien Stormacq - Swift, Serverside, Serverless Swift developers can build full-stack apps purely in Swift with frameworks like Vapor or Hummingbird, but often resort to Node.js/Python/Java due to outdated perceptions. This talk celebrates 100% Swift across frontend (SwiftUI) and backend via AWS Lambda serverless: no server management, instant scaling, pay-per-use. Through live coding, we'll deploy an unmodified Hummingbird app and then build a native Swift Lambda functions for production endpoints. \* Florent Morin - ClearSurgery: From zero to worldwide leader of spatial computing in operation room Since day one, we’ve trusted Apple Vision Pro as the ideal platform to bring spatial computing into the operating room. We began with Swift on visionOS, expanded to embedded Swift, built tools across macOS, iPadOS, and iOS, and completed the stack with a Swift server. Every layer was optimized and accelerated with AI: the perfect partner for Swift. Today, we lead spatial computing in the operating room. This isn’t a vision. It’s reality in production.

Join us as we get together to see Ryan Gosling and Sandra Huller in the highly anticipated sci-fi adventure, PROJECT HAIL MARY! The film is based on the best-selling novel of The Martian and follows a man who awakens on a spacecraft before realizing his mission to save Earth. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: A science teacher wakes up on a spaceship, light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission to save the Earth. The film is directed by the filmmaking due Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (21 and 22 Jump Street, Into and Across the Spider-Verse) and is based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (The Martian). The film stars Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller (Anatomy of a Fall, The Zone of Interest), Lionel Boyce, Milana Vayntrub and Ken Leung. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VYsnngkS_U BUZZ AND REVIEWS: The buzz and reviews for PROJECT HAIL MARY are off-the-charts good! The film is earning a 95% Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, where critics call it an “old school blockbuster crowd-pleaser” and “a new sci-fi classic!” It’s “deeply hopeful,” well-acted,” funny,” “dramatic,” and “exceptionally rousing throughout!” Others call it “something truly magical” and one that “we’ll be talking about this one for decades to come!” And I believe Slashfilm says it best: “It will lift up and squeeze your heart, crack you up with laughter, and give you a sense of hope and wonder in a way that few movies have been able to inspire.” MOVIE PLAN: Please purchase your ticket for the 2:30pm SuperScreen DLX showing and meet in the lobby area between 2:05 and 2:15pm! Tickets already on sale and will likely move fast for this hot ticket / opening weekend showing so advance ticket purchase as soon as possible is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. As a head’s up, this is a longer movie at 2hrs 36mins. DINNER PLAN: Dinner immediately following the movie at 5:30pm at group favorite, FUGU SUSHI, located just next door! Separate RSVP required for the Dinner / Movie portions of this event. An RSVP here means you're signed up for the MOVIE! This portion will be open as long as seats remain. If you also plan to join for dinner, please also RSVP in the separate event listing for the dinner portion of this event. Should be a good one, Dan

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings.
