Kafka as a Platform: the Ecosystem from the Ground Up
Robin Moffatt, Confluent

Kafka has become a key data infrastructure technology, but what actually is it?

In this talk, we’ll look at the entire streaming platform provided by Apache Kafka and the Confluent community components. We’ll build up from topics, partitioning, replication, and low-level pub/sub APIs. We’ll layer on more sophisticated stream processing and integration APIs. By the time we’re done, the open-source project we thought was Big Data’s answer to message queues will have become an enterprise-grade streaming platform, all in about 30 minutes.

Key takeaways:
- Solid introduction to Kafka and its surrounding ecosystem
- Tips building systems using the appropriate Kafka APIs
