Reacting to an Event-Driven World
11:00
We now live in a world with data at its heart. The amount of data being produced every day is growing exponentially and a large amount of this data is in the form of events. Whether it be updates from sensors, clicks on a website or even tweets, applications are bombarded with a never-ending stream of new events.

In this session explore how Kafka and Reactive application architecture can be combined in applications to better handle our modern data needs.
