KJUG#27 Is it possible to deploy a production-ready Kafka cluster during one presentation? Grzegorz

Abstract
Communication by means of messages is the basis of modern systems based on microservice architecture. Kafka is often the first choice due to performance and stability. At the presentation, I will show how to install the Kafka cluster on Kubernetes using Strimzi operator. I will also tell you briefly what Kafka is itself and what the concept of k8s operators is. Additionally, I will tell you what features a ready for production system should have and why Strimzi exactly meets these conditions. The presentation is divided into 2 parts — in the first one I will tell you some theory; in the second I will install Kafka on the previously prepared k8s cluster. And I will show how easy it is to manage Kafka installed this way.
