The talk:

Speaker:
Alex Woolford

Bio:
Alex is a systems engineer at Confluent, the company founded by the original creators of Apache Kafka.

He's been working with a diverse set of open source technologies for the past 7 years, specifically Hadoop et. al, StreamSets, and most recently Kafka. Alex maintains a YouTube channel of geeky practical examples.

Outside of work he enjoys floating in a tank, playing guitar (very, very badly), and yelling from the sidelines at his kids sporting events.

Title: An Introduction to Apache Kafka®

Abstract:
In this session, Alex Woolford will walk us through some practical near real-time examples that touch on analytics, systems integration, and machine learning. We'll show you:

- how to build streaming apps using a familiar SQL interface (ksqlDB)
- how to capture events from external systems
- how to deploy a machine learning model in a stream of events

What we're about

This group is for everyone interested in Kafka and the Kafka ecosystem. The Kafka broker, Kafka Streaming, Kafka Connect, The Confluent Data Platform, Apache Avro and anything else that publishes to and subscribes from Kafka. Kafka is a critical part of any high throughput data and analytics platform and a great general messaging platform. Come learn from others about how to provision, run, scale and connect to this popular open-source messaging platform.
