💡 Speaker 1:
Gokul SP, Data Engineer, KissflowTalk:
Data Engineering Demystified: Concepts, Technologies, and a Local DemoAbstract:
Decision-making, trend prediction, and AI models are derived from large amounts of data, which have been playing a crucial role for a long time. Therefore, managing data across various components requires a discipline known as Data Engineering. In this talk, we will explore,- What is Data Engineering and its concepts such as data warehouses, ETL, data pipelines, and streaming
- How the data pipeline ecosystem can be built using modern technologies
- Let's run Kafka on a local machine to learn about it
This talk will offer insights into data engineering for beginners while providing a refresher for those at an intermediate level.

💡 Speaker 2 & 3:- Kiran Ravichandran, Lead Data Engineer, Presidio
- Nanthakumaran Senthilnathan, Data Engineer, Presidio
Talk:
Overcoming Kafka Storage Challenges for Enhanced Cost-Efficiency and ScalabilityAbstract:
Kafka has become the heart of modern data architectures, serving as a distributed event streaming platform for high-throughput, fault-tolerant data pipelines. However, Kafka's storage component often poses significant challenges in terms of cost and scalability. In this talk, we will explore:- The problems with existing Kafka storage methods
- Whether Kafka Tiered Storage truly solves these issues
- How Kafka Tiered Storage might actually be worsening the situation
- The shift from low disk usage to a diskless approach
- How different market players (Confluent, Warpstream, AutoMQ) are addressing these challenges
This talk is ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their Kafka systems and improve overall performance and efficiency. It is particularly suitable for intermediate developers who are familiar with Kafka basics and are ready to dive into more advanced topics.
