Real-Time Data Meetup at Civo Tech Junction London

This evening is all about networking and learning topics such as Big Data, NoSQL, Infrastructure, Kubernetes, Cloud Native, and DevOps. Feel free to join us and help build and shape the London community around these topics!
Experts from Confluent and Aerospike will discuss how to tackle today’s toughest real-time data challenges at the vibrant Civo Tech Junction, and possibly an Aerospike customer will also share their insights. The first talk will begin at 7:00 PM.
Tasty pizzas and drinks will be provided.

Talk 1: Infrastructure as Code is a well-known buzzword, but what does it mean for event streaming projects? Sven Erik, Staff Technical Instructor (Confluent)
This talk tells the story of setting up an event streaming platform for a bootcamp in Confluent Cloud. This involves setting up the cluster, the topics, users and permissions, but it also includes uploading and configuring custom connectors to stream live events, providing reference data and use KSQL statements to prepare the events ready for consumption as data products - all driven by a single Terraform script as the single source of truth.

Talk 2: Achieving cache-level performance without storing data in RAM by Behrad Babaee, Principal Solutions Architect (Aerospike)
In today's digital age, balancing high throughput and low latency in data processing without excessive costs is a major challenge. This talk presents an innovative approach that reduces reliance on RAM for caching, offering more economical solutions. We'll explore how alternative technologies, such as non-volatile memory and disk-based caching, can boost system performance and scalability, supported by real-world case studies and insights into the latest advancements. Attendees will learn how to implement these solutions for improved efficiency and functionality.
