Speaker One:
Dave Reines, VP of Technology, Object Partners, Inc.

Title of Talk:
Realize the Event-Driven Enterprise

Abstract:
Over the past several years, Object Partners has seen a major shift in data integration and access patterns across the enterprise. Organizations are discovering the shortcomings of point-to-point, batch oriented integration patterns and APIs that integrate with a wide variety of legacy systems. Enterprises are strategically shifting to event streaming architectures with Apache Kafka to provide an event-driven, standardized, real-time source of truth for enterprise data. This talk will discuss approaches for capturing data in real-time, strategies for transforming data to standardized models, options for multi-data center architectures and techniques for making the data available via various access patterns.

Speaker Two:
Jun Rao, Co-Founder, Confluent

Title of Talk:
Kafka Needs no Keeper

Abstract:
We have been served well by Zookeeper over the years, but it is time for Kafka to stand on its own. This is a talk on the ongoing effort to replace the use of Zookeeper in Kafka: why we want to do it and how it will work. We will discuss the limitations we have found and how Kafka benefits both in terms of simplicity and scalability by bringing consensus in house. This effort will not be completed over night, but we will discuss our progress, what work is remaining, and how contributors can help.
