Dean Wampler is an expert in streaming data systems, focusing on applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence (ML/AI). He’s head of developer relations at Anyscale, which is developing Ray for distributed Python, primarily for ML/AI. Previously, he was an engineering VP at Lightbend, where he led the development of Lightbend CloudFlow, an integrated system for building and running streaming data applications with Akka Streams, Apache Spark, Apache Flink, and Apache Kafka. Dean is the author of Fast Data Architectures for Streaming Applications, Programming Scala, and Functional Programming for Java Developers, and he’s the coauthor of Programming Hive, all from O’Reilly. He’s a contributor to several open source projects. A frequent conference speaker and tutorial teacher, he’s also the co-organizer of several conferences around the world and several user groups in Chicago. He earned his PhD in physics from the University of Washington.

Sessions

Dean Wampler (Anyscale), Boris Lublinsky (Lightbend)
Average rating: ***..
(3.50, 2 ratings)
Join Dean Wampler and Boris Lublinsky to learn how to build two microservice streaming applications based on Kafka using Akka Streams and Kafka Streams for data processing. You'll explore the strengths and weaknesses of each tool for particular design needs and contrast them with Spark Streaming and Flink, so you'll know when to choose them instead. Read more.

Meet the Experts
Location: Table A (Expo Hall)
Dean Wampler (Anyscale)
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, runtime platforms like Mesos, Kubernetes, and YARN, and alternatives to all the above.
