- Maciej Mensfeld @maciejmensfeld "Intro to Kafka and Karafka for Rubyists" (speaker at Ruby Kaigi 2018 in Sendai, Japan)

Karafka allows you to capture everything that happens in your systems in large scale, providing you with a seamless and stable core for consuming and processing this data, without having to focus on things that are not your business domain. Have you ever tried to pipe data from one application to another, transform it and send it back? Have you ever wanted to decouple for existing code base and make it much more resilient and flexible? Come and learn about Karafka, where it fits in your existing projects and how to use it as a messages backbone for a modern, distributed and scalable ecosystem.

- Lewis Buckley @lewispb "Kafka at Cookpad"

For the past 4 months Lewis has been busy working on integrating Cookpad with Kafka. Lewis will be sharing some of his insights, tip and tricks in a short presentation. To help you integrate Kafka with a Ruby on Rails application.

20:30-21:30 - Socialise and network.
