Listen to Tim Berglund, Gwen Shapira, and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
This year, Confluent turns six! In honor of this milestone, we are taking a very special moment to celebrate with Gwen Shapira by highlighting the top six things everyone should know about Apache Kafka.
If you’ve ever wondered what Apache Kafka® is, what it’s used for, or wanted to learn Kafka architecture and all its components, buckle up! In today’s episode, Michael Noll and Tim Berglund discuss a series of fundamental questions: What is Kafka? What is an event? How do we organize and store events? And what is Kafka Streams?
Ask Confluent is back! Gwen and Tim talk through how to submit a proposal and get accepted to conferences, the secret for a long marriage, REST Proxy, and how Kafka relates to Splunk. For those who have just started integrating Kafka, Tim and Gwen provide pointers about how to go about understanding it.
Ansible keeps your Apache Kafka® deployment, management, and installation consistent, and helps you implement best practices that make it easy to get started.
