As real-time systems become the backbone of modern products, the way we design and operate data infrastructure is evolving fast. In this meetup, we’re bringing together experts from Riskified, Confluent, and Wix to show how Apache Flink and Apache Kafka power the next generation of streaming architectures—from resilient, fault-tolerant pipelines and reusable data products to AI-driven decisioning at massive scale. Whether you’re a data engineer, platform builder, or AI-curious developer, this evening will give you practical patterns and fresh ways to think about real-time systems. **Agenda:** 18:00 - 18:30 - Mingling, drinks, and snacks 18:30 - 19:00 - Supercharge Your FlinkSQL Job: Use a Hybrid API Approach to Achieve Perfection - Gal Krispel, Senior Data Platform Engineer at Riskified 19:00 - 19:30 - From Data Mess to Data Products: Unlocking Real‑Time Value with Data Streaming - Ohad Israeli, Senior Solutions Engineer Team Leader at Confluent 19:30 - 20:15 - AI vs. Karen: Building Real-Time Sentiment Analysis Pipelines at Scale - Josef Goldstein, Head of R&D, Big Data Platform at Wix.com 20:15 - More drinks and mingling The talks will be delivered in Hebrew. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **// Supercharge Your FlinkSQL Job: Use a Hybrid API Approach to Achieve Perfection - Gal Krispel, Senior Data Platform Engineer at Riskified** Apache Flink’s SQL interface almost sounds like a dream: write standard SQL - get a full-blown streaming app. However, dreams and reality rarely align, and FlinkSQL achieved a questionable level of production readiness. In this session, we’ll explore the known upsides and downsides of FlinkSQL. From the enormous velocity and traction FlinkSQL can create in your organization, to sleepless nights of manual state interventions and unexpected data type inference. The good news is, there are ways to bypass obstacles and tap the most out of FlinkSQL’s benefits by using a Hybrid Flink API approach. We’ll examine the architecture of a fault-tolerant FlinkSQL job (using DLQ), bypass inherent FlinkSQL’s data-type limitations, and finally, show how we can set up our job to handle a massive load. Finally, we’ll also share step-by-step code examples of how to achieve it. ***About the speaker:*** Gal Krispel is a Data Platform Engineer at Riskified, specializing in streaming technologies such as Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. He focuses on building scalable, real-time data pipelines that power Riskified’s core products. Gal is particularly interested in making complex data architectures accessible and efficient across the organization. His work spans real-time analytics, event-driven design, and the seamless integration of stream processing into large-scale production systems. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/gal-krispel/) **// From Data Mess to Data Products: Unlocking Real‑Time Value with Data Streaming - Ohad Israeli, Senior Solutions Engineer Team Leader at Confluent** This talk shows how organizations can move from brittle, point‑to‑point integrations to a data streaming “central nervous system” that powers reusable, trustworthy data products across both operational and analytical estates. We’ll cover the Stream–Connect–Govern–Process blueprint, pragmatic pipeline patterns into warehouses like Snowflake, and real‑world use cases from fraud detection to personalization—highlighting how reusable data products slash time‑to‑value and operating cost while improving data quality and freshness. Attendees will leave with a practical framework to standardize schemas, materialize real‑time pipelines, and reuse domain data products to accelerate AI/ML and analytics initiatives. ***About the speaker:*** Ohad Israeli is a Senior Solutions Engineer Team Leader at Confluent with 20+ years of experience in data architectures. He helps high‑growth tech teams turn streaming data into measurable outcomes using Confluent. His focus is real‑time, event‑driven architectures, faster paths to production, and reliability at scale. [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/israeliohad/) **// AI vs. Karen: Building Real-Time Sentiment Analysis Pipelines at Scale - Josef Goldstein, Head of R&D, Big Data Platform at Wix** We’ve all heard that “the customer is always right". But let’s be honest, some customers are just impossible to please. What if we could detect them before they turn into ALL-CAPS review bombers, in real-time? In this talk, we’ll walk through how to build AI-powered streaming pipelines using Apache Kafka and Apache Flink that can detect frustrated users and respond in real time at massive scale. We’ll explore how to embed AI models directly into data streams for live inference, discuss the trade-offs between using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs), and tackle the real-world challenges of latency, scale, and cost optimization in streaming AI architectures. Finally, we’ll demo a live end-to-end example, from data ingestion to AI scoring and visualization, that you can later run on your own setup. ***About the speaker:*** The data and culture guy. Currently leading the Big Data Platform R&D at Wix. Yossi has over 15 years of experience building data intensive SaaS applications and growing the awesome teams that make them. He believes that the secret sauce for creating sustainable complex systems is good design practices, effective communication between people, and automating everything. In his day to day he works tirelessly on building the culture necessary to support these values and propagate them to others, one pep-talk at a time.

From [Anatol Zakrividoroga](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anatol-zak/overlay/about-this-profile/): [English] **Full-Stack Type Safety Without the Boilerplate: Meet tRPC** Keeping your frontend and backend in sync is hard — especially when API contracts drift, types get out of date, and your IDE stops being helpful. tRPC solves that by letting your backend define procedures that your frontend can call directly, with full TypeScript inference from end to end. In this talk, we’ll explore how tRPC eliminates unnecessary schemas and code generation while still delivering robust, type-safe communication between client and server. You’ll see how to set up a fully type-safe full-stack workflow, catch breaking changes before they hit production, and dramatically reduce the overhead of maintaining APIs.

Join us for lunch at True Food Kitchen in Easton as we celebrate the New Year and our friendships!

Join us as we get together for an Oscar Watch film that’s also one of the year’s best: MARTY SUPREME! Timothee Chalamet delivers a “career-best performance” in this film that follows a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. Marty Supreme has already been named a Top 10 Film of the Year by IndieWire, Vulture, the BBC, Entertainment Weekly, Vanity Fair, the National Board of Review and the American Film Institute and is well on its way to being one of the most nominated films at this year’s Oscars! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: This ping pong drama is set in New York City during the 1950s where table tennis star Marty goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. It is loosely based on the life of famed table tennis player Marty Reisman. The film is directed (and co-written) by Josh Safdie and stars Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara and Fran Drescher. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYSHiII4D-Y EARLY BUZZ & REVIEWS: The film premiered to “overwhelmingly positive” reviews at this year’s New York Film Festival! Timothee Chalamet immediately shot to the top of the Best Actor race with a “career best performance” in a film described as an “awe inspiring cinematic tour-de-force!” Others call it, “an absolute blast of adrenaline” and a “pure delight,” “that soars from start to finish!” The film is earning a Certified Fresh 96% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes where Variety calls it, “one of the year’s few masterpieces!” Slash Film declares, “This is unquestionably the best performance of Timothée Chalamet's career, and Marty Supreme is one of the best movies of the year. I can't wait to watch it again!” PLAN: For MARTY SUPREME at the Drexel, please purchase your ticket for the 3:30pm showing and we’ll meet in the lobby area between 3:10 and 3:20pm! Advance ticket purchase not required for this theater but be sure to mention you’re with the Movie Group for admission and concession discounts! Buzz and excitement for the film are off the charts and (aside from a pair of great international films), this will be our last major Oscar Watch film of the season! BRUNCH BEFORE THE SHOW: We'll plan for Brunch before the show at the Columbus Brewing Company Beer Hall, located a short distance away. Movie is open as long as tickets are available. Seating is limited so separate RSVP required for the Brunch portion of this event.

Some trained COUNT volunteers work together once a month at RMH (http://www.rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer.php) as Housewarmers (usually on the 1st Sunday from 1 – 5 PM). Some schedule other shifts at their convenience. You may try this out with less fuss by following a "Fast track" or go through the normal process. Fast track • Arrange a time to shadow a COUNT volunteer. Call Dave Nohle at 614-268-9558 (cell). • Show up and try it out. • Complete application, etc. later. Normal process • Complete an online application (http://rmhc-centralohio.org/volunteer/). • Attend orientation in advance. • At orientation you will complete forms agreeing to keep family/patient info private and allowing a background check and tour the facility. • Complete one training shift. Daily shifts are: morning 9 AM - 1 PM, afternoon 1 - 5 PM and evening 5 - 9 PM. • Schedule shifts online using the on the RMH scheduling system (http://www.volgistics.com/ex/portal.dll/?FROM=32895). The Ronald McDonald House (RMH) provides housing and meals for families with sick children. The Columbus RMH is the largest in the world with 137 rooms. COUNT has been volunteering there since May 2014. Housewarmers work with RMH guests to provide a home-like environment - greet, assist with family needs, answer phones, give tours, assist with checkin/checkout, prepare guest rooms after checkout, clean facility, laundry, restock supplies and staff the front desk. RMH Housewarmers volunteer at least one four-hour shift a month. All Housewarmers must complete an application and agree to a background check before they can be full fledged volunteers.
