Kafka Summit Europe 2021 – A Look at the Agenda

In 2021, three Kafka Summits are being held virtually across different regions to accommodate global participants. The events aim to engage the Kafka community by featuring a variety of presentations, including keynotes from notable figures like Jay Kreps and discussions on innovative topics such as Data Mesh by Zhamak Dehghani. Other highlights include Stripe's strategies for managing message processing outages, Adidas' advanced observability system handling massive data volumes, and AO's development of an enterprise-wide data governance framework. Additionally, the summit will cover technical advancements like Kafka's implementation of the Raft protocol and practical insights from experienced professionals like Simon Aubury and Jason Gustafson. The successful organization of these summits is attributed to the dedicated efforts of the Kafka Summit Program Committee, who are responsible for curating a comprehensive agenda.
