Breaking Up with ZooKeeper: It’s Not Me, It’s KRaft
You’ve probably heard that Apache Kafka is moving away from ZooKeeper with the introduction of KRaft mode—a major architectural shift that simplifies deployment and management. Pair that with Strimzi, the Kubernetes-native operator for Kafka, and you might start to wonder: what does this mean for running Kafka in a cloud-native world?
This talk will demystify the current state of Kafka on Kubernetes, focusing on how Strimzi supports KRaft mode, what’s changing under the hood, and what it means for operators and developers. We’ll explore the benefits of ditching ZooKeeper, how Strimzi’s CRDs and automation make KRaft deployments easier, and what new patterns are emerging for observability, scaling, and GitOps integration.
Whether you're running Kafka in production or just curious about the future of data streaming in Kubernetes, this talk will give you a clear picture of where things are headed—and how to get there.
AI-Powered Coding on Your Terms: Bring Your Own Model
AI coding assistants can supercharge developer productivity—but relying on cloud-based models isn’t always ideal. What if you could run your own AI assistant, tailored to your workflow and with full control over privacy, speed, and cost?
In this session, we’ll explore how to integrate self-hosted or custom AI models into your IDE.
You’ll learn how to set up and fine-tune your own model, embed AI into your development workflow, and boost efficiency without relying on external services.
Expect live demos, real-world examples, and practical takeaways you can apply right away.
Building Sustainable Software with native images
Native images aren't just about fast startup times - they're a key tool in building sustainable software. This session demonstrates how to build sustainable applications with native images while measuring and reducing their environmental impact.
Scaling Kafka in Kubernetes: A Deep Dive into Apache Strimzi
Apache Strimzi transforms the way organizations deploy and manage Apache Kafka on Kubernetes, making cloud-native event streaming accessible and scalable. This session explores how Strimzi automates complex Kafka operations, offering a truly cloud-native experience through custom resources and operators. I will demonstrate real-world deployment patterns, and share best practices for running production-grade Kafka clusters in Kubernetes environments.
Beyond GitOps: Building Intelligent Drift Detection and Auto-Remediation in ArgoCD
Let's discover how to extend ArgoCD's capabilities by building a sophisticated drift detection and auto-remediation system. We'll demonstrate how to combine ArgoCD's Resource Hooks, Custom Health Checks, and the ApplicationSet controller to create an intelligent system that not only detects configuration drift but automatically resolves it based on defined policies. Through live coding, we'll build a custom controller that monitors for unauthorized changes, implements smart rollback decisions, and provides real-time notifications. Learn how to leverage ArgoCD's API to implement advanced reconciliation patterns, track drift metrics, and create audit trails of all remediation actions. Perfect for teams dealing with dynamic environments where maintaining configuration consistency is crucial.
