Why and how to back-up your "business events"?

Kafka is a distributed system and can be configured to provide a high level of resilience on its own. That is the reason people are in doubt and don't know if they even need a backup stream. We go over the different arguments and questions such as "What if somebody makes a human error which causes events to be deleted after a day?".
In this talk we explain how you can easily store your events in cloud file storage. We also explain how you can restore the data in topics of your own choice and how this relates to scheduled database backups in your environment.

Kafka operational best practice

Event driven large scale document generation with iText & Kafka

Project testimonial on the technical architecture of a document generation platform to scale up to > 10.000 pdf-generations per hour.  Resilience and horizontal scaling approach with the power of Kafka & iText/Dito components.

Power of streaming architecture to detect document-generation trigger and to data-provision the generation source from real time events.

Business Event Driven Architecture & Governance in action

Event-Driven Architecture is the only way to achieve resilient scalable reactive systems. It enables loose coupling, drives autonomy for the dev teams, and is the key to digital business behaviour monitoring.
But how do you implement EDA the right way? And make sure that it keeps being implemented the right way?

I’ll be sharing several experiences in setting up an EDA-COE (center of excellence) for large industrial companies, insurance and logistic environments.
From setting up a strong foundation, defining event designs, best practices, and principles to the guidance of development teams. The COE brings business and IT together to ensure EDA is set-up and used correctly, but also to identify and capitalize on new opportunities that automatically arise from using EDA.
Using several real life experiences (AXA Belgium, AtlasCopco, Engie, Huge Sports Brand, ...)

audience: architects, CIO's, operating model owners.

DDD and Business Event Symantics

What is the relation between a streaming architecture design and DDD and how can DDD help you in avoiding EDA death traps

Implementing governance in an Event Driven Architecture

The potential of EDA in large scale companies is enormous. The correct secure and governed implementation however is new and mostly unknown territory.

How to implement event-back-pressure for a Kafka-Dynamics 365 adaptor

presentation explains a design to implement Quality of Service, in a Business event Kafka landscape. How to handle bulk transactions and user-centric transactions and give them the correct priority for a DYN FO erp system and avoid the 'batch-job' way.

Best practices how to combine classic ERP architecture with a business event driven architecture.

Presentation will demo how streamed kafa-events can be 'back pressured'.

Session will zoom into :
- events and ordering
- auto lag detection
- streaming of events
- statestores

audience: solution/technical architects

Predictive Behavioral Models within streaming architectures

A complex dynamic business world needs a different architecture.
Design for knowledge, sourced from continuous current behavior and inform business what is ahead.

In the talk i'll be covering :
What is behavioral modeling/system dynamics and what is it's value in today's integration architecture
What is the difference between a message broker and a streaming platform?
Benefits of streaming architecture
Presenting an simple example case System Dynamics
Presenting real life high level integration architecture for MATECO/TVH Company using Kafka Streaming Platform.

Kafka: a true implementation story

Implementing Kafka as the event-source backbone within large organization.
Best-practices, pitfalls & governance, experience in true live projects @mateco & @AXA Insurance
