Meet the Experts
 Location: Table A (Expo Hall)

Join Dean to discuss all things streaming, from new architectures that integrate more closely with microservices, using Kafka as the data backplane, and Spark and Flink for large-scale data streams where sophisticated handling is required to using Akka Streams and Kafka Streams when low-overhead data processing microservices are needed, runtime platforms like Mesos, Kubernetes, and YARN, and alternatives to all the above.
