Going beyond MSK with Cloud-Native Kafka

Tuesday, February 7th | 1 PM PT

Apache Kafka has established itself as a de-facto standard for event streaming and Event driven architectures. It is a core part of any Event driven architecture. However, managing Kafka at scale could be daunting. Have you ever thought, what would happen if Kafka management was offloaded to an external vendor? How can you accelerate Developer productivity and improve your overall experience by using a fully managed service?

When it comes to options, there are few of them available on the market. While some like Amazon MSK are good for small projects, or for when a customer is starting their Kafka journey, only Confluent offers a complete solution that is relevant to you regardless of your stage in the event streaming journey. 

Join us on February 7, 2023 at 1:00pm PST for not only a sommelier-led virtual champagne tasting, but also to hear from Confluent’s Ankur Goel on how not all Kafka services are born equal. 

He’ll discuss:

• How Confluent completes Apache Kafka by providing a suite of services that could be used to accelerate your Event streaming adoption
• How Confluent made it easy to manage and operate Kafka at scale
• How Confluent can make building data-in-motion applications easier than ever
• How it can help you connect your data together wherever it lives

Following the presentation, TechTalk's Sommelier will walk guests through a virtual tasting. Advanced registration is a must to ensure the delivery of the bottle we will be sampling in time for the event.
