Kafka Summit NYC is an upcoming event where industry professionals will gather to discuss the use of Apache Kafka in building integrated data architectures and expanding cloud use cases, with the Streaming Pipelines track focusing on sharing practitioner experiences and compelling Kafka use cases. The program committee, responsible for selecting track sessions, aimed to choose talks that would appeal to a significant portion of attendees and cover diverse aspects of the Kafka ecosystem, ultimately narrowing down over 100 submissions to just 8 per track. Highlighted sessions include Airbnb's use of Kafka for reliable logging, Yelp's real-time data pipeline, and Ancestry’s approach to data integration. This event, featuring the largest gathering of Kafka experts, will be followed by Current 2024 in Austin, Texas, focusing on discussions around Apache Kafka and Apache Flink.
