What we’re about
Apache Kafka and Amazon Kinesis are more than just message queues — they can serve as a unified log which you can put at the heart of your business, effectively creating a "digital nervous system" which your company's applications and processes can be re-structured around.
This is a group for anyone in London and the South-East who is experimenting with Kafka, Kinesis or associated stream processing frameworks like Samza or Storm. If you have read Jay Kreps’ unified log monograph and want to learn how to put these unified log concepts into action, then this is the meetup for you.
Practical and theoretical talks will show how event streams inside a unified log are an incredibly powerful primitive for building rich event-centric applications, unbundling local transactional silos and creating a single version of truth for a company.
