Based on an end-to-end example, the use of Kafka and tools around Kafka will be demonstrated and the participants will be shown how easy streaming solutions can be implemented without having to write a lot of code. Data is generated by fictitious IoT sensors that are integrated into Kafka via MQTT. Kafka Connect and StreamSets Data Collector will be shown in action. Afterwards, the data is analyzed within Kafka using KSQL and Kafka Streams and results are visualized in real time. The IoT data is enhanced with static data from master data systems. Possible message data formats such as JSON and AVRO are also discussed. The whole thing is a live demo without slides. The only exception is a slide showing the architecture of the solution, which is supplemented step by step with the appropriate tools, so that the participant never loses the overview.

Topics like Cloud, DevOps, Kubernetes, Serverless & Co. are becoming part of everyday life for many. However, the abundance of terms and new technologies regularly makes architects and developers sweat when it comes to making a well-founded choice. Why do we have to deal with these topics at all?

The future vision of many companies is the flexible processing of a flood of data and then the profitable use of the information extracted from it in all parts of the company. The amount of data is constantly growing, so scalability has become an important requirement. A cloud-native application can automatically adapt to constantly changing load requirements. However, this requires highly integrated collaboration between business, development and operations in order to be able to react as quickly as possible to a changing market environment.

Let yourself be surprised how easy it is to make decisions based solely on proven principles of software architecture. We should say goodbye to some of them without hesitation. Reuse and technology independence have caused more problems than they have brought benefits in the past. For organisational reasons, freedom from redundancy has also been given lower priority. The session shows which principles and even laws we can fall back on despite the increasing complexity of today's software systems.
