He is the co-presenter of various O’Reilly training videos on topics ranging from Git to Distributed Systems\, and i s the author of Gradle Beyond the Basics. He is also the co-host of the ht tp://devrelrad.io podcast\, and lives in Littleton\, CO\, USA with the wif e of his youth and their youngest child\; the other two having mostly grow n up. \n\n You can follow him on twitter at @tlberglund.\n. \n\n Apache Ka fka: A Streaming Data Platform \n\n When it comes time to choose a distrib uted messaging system\, everyone knows the answer: Apache Kafka. But how a bout when you’re on the hook to choose a world-class\, horizontally scal able stream data processing system? When you need not just publish and sub scribe messaging\, but also long-term storage\, a flexible integration fra mework\, and a means of deploying real-time stream processing applications at scale without having to integrate a number of different pieces of infr astructure yourself? The answer is still Apache Kafka. \n\n In this talk\, we’ll make a rapid-fire review of the breadth of Kafka as a streaming d ata platform. We’ll look at its internal architecture\, including how it partitions messaging workloads in a fault-tolerant way. We’ll learn how it provides message durability. We’ll look at its approach to pub/sub m essaging. We’ll even take a peek at how Kafka Connect provides code-free \, scalable\, fault-tolerant integration\, and how the Streams API provide s a complete framework for computation over all the streaming data in your cluster\n.\n. \n\n STOP PRESS..... Check out the new Dublin Java User Gro up Website\n. \n\n Heraclitus\, the Metaphysics of Change\, and Streaming Data \n\n Hailing from the Persian city of Ephesus in around 500 BC\, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus is famous for his trenchant analysis of strea m processing systems\, saying “You never step into the same river twice. ” Central to his philosophy was the idea that all things change constant ly. His close readers also know him as the Weeping Philosopher—perhaps b ecause dealing with constantly changing data at low latency is actually pr etty hard. It doesn’t need to be that way. \n\n Almost as famous as Hera clitus is Apache Kafka\, the de facto standard open-source distributed str eam processing system. Many of us know Kafka’s architectural and pub/sub API particulars as well as we know the philosophy of Heraclitus\, but tha t doesn’t mean we’re equipped to build the kind of real-time streaming data systems that the next generation of business requirements are doing to demand. Like Heraclitus was telling us 2\,500 years ago: we need to get on board with streams. \n\n This talk is a thorough introduction to the S treams API\, an important recent addition to Kafka that lets us build soph isticated stream processing systems that are as scalable and fault-toleran t as Kafka itself\, and also happen to align quite well with the microserv ices sensibilities that are so common in contemporary architectural thinki ng. We’ll talk about how to deploy Streams applications and look at actu al working code that will bring your thinking about streaming data systems from the ancient history of pub/sub paradigms into the current era. \n\n . \n\n The Dublin Java User Group - Sponsor Messages \n\n Stackand.Co enri ch the professional lives of Java / Scala software professionals - with ov er 20 years experience in the Irish ICT market\, they have helped many gre at people elevate their careers. \n\n Perhaps they can do the same for you working with companies like this one? \n\n Website: Stackand.Co / Twitter : @StackanddotCo \n\n . \n\n Equifax Technology Ireland is the Research an d Development arm of global credit scoring organisation Equifax - it has r ecently opened a technology centre in the Bloodstone Building\, Dublin 2. \n\n Now looking for developers! \n\n Website: Equifax.com / Twitter: @Equ ifax \n\n . \n\n GuruTeam's 'crème de la crème' instructors deliver an e nthusing and valuable learning experience\, equipping attendees with the v ital skills applicable to their careers\, and bringing true business value to organisations they work with. \n\n Upcoming courses include CI with Je nkins\, Apache Hadoop\, Data Science &\; Big Data Analytics\, Spring\, GIT\, Linux Foundation™\, Angular 2\, and OpenStack™ \n\n Website: Gur uTeamIrl.com / Twitter: @GuruTeamIreland \n\n . \n\n Version 1 is a truste d technology partner to major domestic and international customers across all industry sectors in the UK and Ireland.
