Apache Kafka is a high-throughput, low-latency pub/sub messaging system being adopted by large companies such as Uber, Netflix, LinkedIn, Cerner, Goldman Sachs, and Cisco for handling real-time and streaming data at scale. Confluent will be speaking at QCon NYC about Apache Kafka and its stream data platform, offering tutorials and talks on June 9th and June 11th, covering the basics of Kafka fundamentals, anomaly detection, and adoption in practice. The event also includes a discussion on how to adopt Kafka in real-time data processing and integration across various systems, as well as insights into cloud services and management for government agencies. Additionally, Confluent will be hosting Current 2024 in Austin, Texas, bringing together the community to discuss Apache Kafka and Apache Flink.
