Introduction to Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is a product that should be in every IT professional's toolbox.

Attend the webinar by developer advocate Ricardo Ferreira and learn how to use Kafka in your daily work


About the Webinar:

The use of distributed streaming platforms is becoming increasingly popular among developers, but have you ever wondered why?
Part Pub/Sub messaging system, partly distributed storage, partly CEP-type event processing engine, the usage of this type of technology brings a whole new perspective on how developers capture, store, and process events. This talk will explain what distributed streaming platforms are and how it can be a game changer for modern data architectures. We'll discuss the road in IT that led to the need of this type of platform, the current state of Apache Kafka, as well as scenarios where this technology can be implemented.

Ricardo is a Developer Advocate at Confluent, the company founded by the original co-creators of Apache Kafka. He has over 22 years of experience working with software engineering and specializes in service-oriented architecture, big data, cloud, and serverless architecture.

The last few months have been the most interesting, rewarding and productive period of my professional life. I’ve practically stopped using Google search and StackOverflow, two websites I’d consider essential to my work just a few months ago. I’ve coded the Gitora PL/SQL debugger virtually without reading a single line of documentation about how to build debuggers in Java or the specifics of how to build a Java debugger for PL/SQL. I am not even sure if there is any documentation available about building a PL/SQL debugger on the Internet. I just talked about these topics with ChatGPT and analyzed, used the code snippets it produced. All CSS and almost all of the run-of-the-mill code I needed to write for the debugger and the Gitora AI Assistant for S
