IN-PERSON: Kafka Enterprise Strategies: Best Practices
2023-06-26 · 16:45
🔥 Greetings to all Kafka enthusiasts! Following the tremendous achievement of the previous Kafka meet-up in April, we are delighted to declare the forthcoming edition. OSO are teaming up with Sainsbury's, special sponsor for this event, to deliver an exciting program of talks that you won't want to miss! ** Since this event will take place in a Sainsbury's office, for security purposes, you must register in your ID name order to gain entry. Register from here (scroll down for registry in the event page). When: ⏰ Monday 26th June 2023 5.45 - 8:30 pm Where:📍33 Holborn, London EC4A 1AA Nearest Tube Stations: 🚇 Central Line: St. Pauls & Chancery Lane, Elizabeth Line: Farringdon 🎙️ \~Talk 1\~ Talk Title: Kafka enterprise strategy to evolve with demand Summary: In this talk we are going to navigate through the transformation journey of the Supply Chain BU adopting Kafka with microservices in an event-driven architecture to deliver better value to customers and have a look at the current presence of Kafka in Sainsbury’s. We will go over insights of early days, lessons learnt and successful governance patterns which made the onboarding smoother as time went. We will also review the different tooling involved in making this journey successful not only for business but for developers, along with leveraging Kafka community driven projects such as Kafka Connect. We will conclude on where the Kafka landscape and architecture is headed. Key talk takeaways:
🗣️ Speaker: John Mille (GitHub @johnpreston) – Principal Cloud Engineer at Sainsbury’s Coming from a Net/Sys admin background, John has been working with AWS (Amazon Web Services) and distributed systems since before he graduated. Introduced to Kafka on the job, he builds Open-Source tooling to help with Kafka Governance automation and enjoys occasional blogging, to share his experiences and help others. 🎙️ \~Talk 2\~ Talk Title: Enforcing Kafka Best Practices Summary: Kafka's flexibility and configurability have contributed to its widespread adoption, but they also pose challenges. The ability to configure applications client-side can lead to inefficiencies and performance issues within the Kafka cluster. Conduktor has encountered numerous instances of such issues reported by their customers, including improperly configured producers, consumer groups with excessive members, and mixed data and schema in topics unintentionally. These issues often go unnoticed by the client application but significantly impact the performance of the Kafka cluster. In this session, join us on a detective hunt as we explore the tools and metrics used to identify misconfigurations in clients. We will discuss strategies for addressing these issues once discovered and provide insights on preventing future occurrences. 🗣️ Speaker: Tom Scott: Principal Engineer, Conduktor Long time enthusiast of Kafka and all things data integration, Tom has more than 10yrs experience (5yrs+ Kafka) in innovative and efficient ways to store, query and move data. Currently working at Conduktor, Tom is building multi-tenant, on-prem and cloud Kafka services to attack common Kafka pain points and break down barriers to starting your data journey. 🗓️ Schedule: The full schedule for the evening is as follows: 17:45 - Doors open (please arrive on time) 18:00 - Kick-Off 18:10 - Kafka enterprise strategy to evolve with demand + Q&A 18:50 - Break 19:00 - Enforcing Kafka Best Practices + Q&A 19:40 - Food, drinks and networking Catering will be provided to all attendees following the talks.

Pro Oracle Application Express 4 is your key to mastering one of the most innovative products to come out Oracle in years. Application Express, termed APEX for short, is fast becoming one of the easiest and most widely-used of tools for creating enterprise-level applications that run against an Oracle database. APEX is easy enough for power users to create ad-hoc applications atop something more reliable than a spreadsheet. Yet APEX is powerful and extensible enough to enable fully-scalable, enterprise-level applications that are accessed by thousands of users. Authors Tim Fox, John Scott, and Scott Spendolini take you to the professional level in developing for Application Express. They show how to handle user authentication in enterprise environments and how to extend APEX by writing components based upon Oracle's new plug-in architecture. You'll learn to deal with localization issues such as time zones and translations, and to customize the look and feel of an APEX website to blend in with your corporate branding strategy. The authors also cover web service development, performance and scalability, and the production issues that you encounter in enterprise-level deployments. Many years of experience in solving the "hard problems" are coalesced in this book to help you, the reader, take advantage of all that APEX has to offer. Focuses on high-end, enterprise-level development Covers new features such as plug-ins and Websheets Introduces the new interface released with APEX 4.0 What you'll learn Design APEX solutions that conform to your corporate look-and-feel Create compelling reports, charts, navigation, and layout Create your own components based upon APEX's new plug-in architecture Authenticate users and manage their access to your applications Develop and deploy web services using APEX Scale APEX applications to thousands of users Secure your applications and data from intrusion Who this book is for Pro Oracle Application Express 4 is aimed at application developers looking for a rapid application development environment harnessing the full power of the Oracle Database, including SQL and PL/SQL. The book meets the needs of developers working at both the departmental and the enterprise level, with an emphasis on high-end, enterprise deployment. |

Pro Oracle Application Express

Application Express, or APEX, is one of the most innovative products to come out of Oracle in years. APEX is an application development framework for developing database–backed applications. It's easy enough to get started in that power users can quit storing data in random spreadsheets and instead centralize their data in the powerful Oracle database, all without developer help. Developers aren't left out, however. Those who choose to do so can go deep and leverage the full power and flexibility of Oracle's database engine. Getting started with APEX is easy; learning how to take full advantage of APEX is the problem. It was the problem, that is, until this book came along. In Pro Oracle Application Express, authors John Scott and Scott Spendolini open the "hood" of APEX and expose the full power behind its easy–to–use GUI. They show you what you need to know to produce powerful, professionally polished applications—such as user-authentication models, approaches to layout and navigation, how to integrate Ajax, how to deal with localization issues such as time zones and translations, how to customize the look and feel of an APEX web site, and much, much more. The authors are well–qualified to write on APEX. John Scott runs ShellPrompt, a hosting service that handles many large-scale APEX applications, some of which he is paid to develop. John is a hard–core APEX developer. His co-author, Scott Spendolini, is one of the original creators of APEX. Both John and Scott now base their full-time careers on developing APEX applications. Pro Oracle Application Express is your opportunity to learn APEX from the very best. |
