Keynote Day 2 Morning | Kafka Summit 2020

Kafka ♥ Cloud (Jay Kreps, Confluent)

In this talk, Confluent co-founder and CEO, Jay Kreps will cover the rise of two trends:
1. The rise of Apache Kafka and event streams; and
2. The rise of the public cloud and cloud-native data systems ...
and the problems we need to solve as these two trends come together.

The Tyranny Of Data (Sam Newman)

Data is essential. It’s the lifeblood of our business, and without it we’re lost. The problem with data though, is all too often we can end up working for the data, rather than having the data work for us. So much of the systems we build are about managing data properly. Storing it safely, getting it where it needs to be. Making sure it is held safely, or that it is manipulated in the right way. The nature of the data we manage can end up constraining our applications in a host of ways. Rather than making data the constraint in our system, we need to find ways to better unlock the value it has for our organisations. In this keynote, Sam will look at how to reimagine the use of data to make sure the data works for us, not the other way around.
