DevConf.CZ 2019

The last couple of years we've seen cataclysmic changes for Java EE: Java EE 8 was released, MicroProfile produced 2 releases and 7 new microservices focused APIs, and both of them moved over to the Eclipse Foundation, with Oracle choosing to open source everything!

What has just happened? Jakarta EE is alive and kicking and aims at aligning Enterprise Java to the fast pacing reality of the brave new Cloud Native world.

Why this is important to you as a developer and what you can do about it? Come to this talk to find out.

Apache Kafka has emerged as a leading platform for building real-time data pipelines and for high-throughput/low-latency messaging. With its scalable and distributed design, Apache Kafka is very good fit for platforms like Kubernetes and OpenShift.

But deploying and running stateful apps like Apache Kafka on Kubernetes or OpenShift can be complex and tedious. Open source project Strimzi makes it easy using the operator pattern. It addresses the whole lifecycle from creating and managing Apache Kafka clusters to managing Apache Kafka topics or users. This talk will go through the main challenges and explain how they are solved in the Strimzi project, and show a demo of deploying and running Apache Kafka on OpenShift.

This talk expects at least a basic knowledge of Kubernetes or OpenShift.
