The Wonderful World of Apache Kafka
Friday - May 13 8:30 AM CDT - WOODBURY
Apache Kafka is the core of an amazing ecosystem of tools and frameworks that enable us to get more value from our data. Let's take a journey through this wonderful world and see what we can learn.
In this session, we'll have a gentle introduction to Apache Kafka, and then a survey of some of the more popular components in the Kafka ecosystem. We will be looking at the Kafka Producer and Consumer libraries, Kafka Connect, Kafka Streams, the Confluent Schema Registry, and ksqlDB. You will leave loaded with ideas of ways to put Kafka to use in your organization, and a list of resources to help you on your journey.
