Speaker One:
Kris Jenkins, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent
Title of Talk:
Dashing Off A Dashboard
Abstract:
How much can we do with Kafka in 20 minutes of coding? Let's find out. In this live-coding session we'll build a real-time dashboard from scratch. Dancing across three languages - KSQL, Java and JavaScript - we'll piece together the skeleton of a dashboard that could serve KPIs to everyone in your organisation, or just form the basis of your next lunchtime hacking session.
(^ Almost from scratch. We'll start with a log4j.properties file. No-one wants to watch log4j being configured by hand.)
Bio:
Kris Jenkins is the former CTO of a gold-trading company, contractor for a number of internet startups, and now Developer Advocate at Confluent. He enjoys anything that makes system architecture simpler and more reliable (like functional programming and event-based systems), and anything that puts the fun back into coding (like meetups, hackathons, and playing with new technology).
Kris lives in London with his noun phrase and two subjunctive clauses.
Speaker Two:
Tim Berglund, Senior Director, Developer Advocacy, Confluent
Title of Talk:
What’s Past is Prologue: a Story of Event-Driven Architecture
Abstract:
The growth of Kafka inside an organization sometimes follows the development of the broader Kafka ecosystem over its lifetime. The initial use case may be something conceptually simple, like mainframe offload or point-to-point integration, evoking the simple Large Pipe architectures of Kafka’s infancy.
This talk traces this development, ending with a comprehensive vision of an event-driven architecture suitable for the next generation of information technology deployments. You’ll leave knowing where you need to go and how this new architectural paradigm will help you get there.
