Hello fellow sports parents and coaches! Ever feel like you're in the middle of a game you didn't quite sign up for? We get it. Join us for an honest conversation about the highs, lows, and everything in-between when it comes to raising kids in the world of youth sports. We'll kick things off with some lighthearted summer fun before getting real about the challenges and joys of this journey. Our special guest, Anna McDonald, opens up about her own experiences as a sports parent, navigating the tough decisions and emotional rollercoaster of youth football. Learn about the importance of finding the right fit for your child - a team and a coach that prioritize a safe and supportive environment where kids can grow, not just as athletes, but as people. We'll go beyond the X's and O's to explore the mental side of the game, the grit and resilience that separates good athletes from great ones. Discover how to nurture a strong mindset in your young athlete, one that will serve them well on and off the field. We'll also talk about finding that balance between dedication to the sport and living a full life outside of it. Hear Anna's stories about the incredible bonds formed through sports, the lifelong friendships, and the lessons learned through wins and losses. We'll also dive into the complexities of parenting in the age of social media and how to create a supportive and safe space for your kids to navigate it all. Key Takeaways: Finding the right team and coach is more than just about winning Mental toughness matters just as much as physical skills Even the pros struggle - it's about resilience, not perfection Sports are important, but they're not everything Raising good humans is the ultimate goal The importance of a strong support system for young athletes Parenting in the digital age - it's a whole new ballgame Prioritizing personal growth and sportsmanship over trophies Tune in for a conversation that's real, relatable, and packed with insights for anyone raising kids in the world of sports.

Anna McDonald has a dual role at Moneta, a St. Louis based RIA with over $32 billion in assets under management. She supports athletes in all aspects of their financial lives, preparing them for sustained success beyond their athletic careers. She knows this segment well as she previously spent six years as an ESPN reporter, covering Major League Baseball and the National Football League. During this time she was a spokesperson around health and safety concerns of the NFL.  In addition to her work with athletes, she also serves as Moneta's Director of Family Learning. In this capacity, she works at the net as client facing teams to facilitate learning programs for families to transfer wealth to younger generations.Having bridged both journalism and financial advice, we start with the mysterious world of professional sports and reporting on them.  Anna describes how she won the trust of athletes, getting them to open up to her as a reporter, and discusses how meeting them at their level of discussion in terms of technical knowledge was the key to rising above some of the “fluff” in sports coverage.  She translated this counseling and advisory capacity into a broader desire to work with athletes to plan their lives beyond their financial careers and her role at Moneta was born.The profile of professional athletes is unique in terms of earning – and can resemble the inverse of a J curve – in that earnings can be front end loaded but can taper off once a career recedes or retirement occurs.  This underscores the importance of planning, budgeting and preparing for a career beyond elite sports, and we discuss the educational and practical components of this.Series 3 of 2024 is supported by Ruffer and Nuveen. Ruffer is a London based asset manager - founded in 1994 - managing over $25 billion for institutions, pension funds, charities and individuals. They have a single investment approach that aims to deliver positive returns across the full range of market conditions.  Nuveen has provided investment excellence for 125 years.

Investing involves risk; loss of principal is possible.

Summer is coming, and so is Series 3 of the 2024 Fiftyfaces Podcast, and this series is filled with themes that we have not touched in as much depth before. The notion of service, and in particular serving public funds – whether in an officer, trustee or consultant capacity is explored in depth – we look at the mindset required, the rewards that accrue, and how to attract new talent into this segment.We move then to private wealth to discuss the unique ways to serve clients such as athetesOur guests on Series 3 of 2024 are Marcie Frost, CEO of Calpers, Kevin Leonard of NEPC, and Kurt Summers of Blackstone, all of whom talk about their work lives in public funds and the satisfaction they derive from this.  Staying with pension funds we chat with Jim McNamee about his career in the police and his transition into pension funds. We move from there to Canada to catch up with Derek Walker of CPP Investments about the total return approach that they espouse. Moving then to private wealth, we speak with the legendary Ciara Hurley about her 30 years in private wealth in Ireland, Stephanie Drescher of Apollo about the massive opportunity for growth in this segment, and Anna McDonald from Moneta talks about her practice with professional athletes. We cycle back to asset management then to hear about the case for Emerging Markets from Varun Laijawalla, as well as the culture of culture at Golub Capital, as told by David Golub. Series 3 of 2024 is sponsored by Ruffer Investment Management.

Ask any software developer about their favourite stack, and they'll probably have strong opinions. (They might even have a snappy acronym for it, like LAMP or JAM or...) But if you ask any business about their stack, things aren't so clear. They'll probably tell you the key components, and then add a laundry list of extra parts that got glued on later. The reality is, assembling large systems gets complicated. And with more and more options coming out every year, that potential complexity is only growing. These days, a good software developer must also be part researcher, and part explorer. So this week we're going to survey the landscape, and head out on the hunt for workable architectures. And joining us to do it is Ben Gamble. He's worked in fields as diverse as video games, enterprise software and AR headsets, and these days works for an Everything As A Service company helping people find and assemble the missing pieces their system needs. Who better to guide us through the software landscape? If you've ever worried that your system is too complicated, or is missing important parts, or you're just yearning for an architecture that feels more cohesive and less like a box of parts, come exploring with us.--Kris on Twitter: https://twitter.com/krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/Ben on Twitter: https://twitter.com/BenGamble7The Schemaverse: https://schemaverse.com/Nerdsniping: https://xkcd.com/356/Tremor: https://www.tremor.rs/Anna McDonald's talk on Completion Criteria: https://www.confluent.io/events/kafka-summit-london-2023/pragmatic-patterns-and-pitfalls-for-event-streaming-in-brownfield/Temporal.IO: https://temporal.io/

Entomophiliac, Anna McDonald (Principal Customer Success Technical Architect, Confluent) has seen her fair share of Apache Kafka® bugs. For her annual holiday roundup of the most noteworthy Kafka bugs, Anna tells Kris Jenkins about some of the scariest, most surprising, and most enlightening corner cases that make you ask, “Ah, so that's how it really works?”She shares a lot of interesting details about how batching works, the replication protocol, how Kafka's networking stack dances with Linux's one, and which is the most important Scala class to read, if you're only going to read one.In particular, Anna gives Kris details about a bug that he's been thinking about lately – sticky partitioner (KAFKA-10888). When a Kafka producer sends several records to the same partition at around the same time, the partition can get overloaded. As a result, if too many records get processed at once, they can get stuck causing an unbalanced workload. Anna goes on to explain that the fix required keeping track of the number of offsets/messages written to each partition, and then batching to force more balanced distributions.She found another bug that occurs when Kafka server triggers TCP Congestion Control in some conditions (KAFKA-9648). Anna explains that when Kafka server restarts and then executes the preferred replica leader, lots of replica leaders trigger cluster metadata updates. Then, all clients establish a server connection at the same time that lots TCP requests are waiting in the TCP sync queue.The third bug she talks about (KAFKA-9211), may cause TCP delays after upgrading…. Oh, that's a nasty one. She goes on to tell Kris about a rare bug (KAFKA-12686) in Partition.scala where there's a race condition between the handling of an AlterIsrResponse and a LeaderAndIsrRequest. This rare scenario involves the delay of AlterIsrResponse when lots of ISR and leadership changes occur due to broker restarts.Bugs five (KAFKA-12964) and six (KAFKA-14334) are no better, but you'll have to plug in your headphones and listen in to explore the ghoulish adventures of Anna McDonald as she gives a nightmarish peek into her world of JIRA bugs.

What is event sourcing and how does it work?Event sourcing is often used interchangeably with event-driven architecture and event stream processing. However, Anna McDonald (Principal Customer Success Technical Architect, Confluent) explains it's a specific category of its own—an event streaming pattern. Anna is passionate about event-driven architectures and event patterns. She's a tour de force in the Apache Kafka® community and is the presenter of the Event Sourcing and Event Storage with Apache Kafka course on Confluent Developer. In this episode, she previews the course by providing an overview of what event sourcing is and what you need to know in order to build event-driven systems. Event sourcing is an architectural design pattern, which defines the approach to handling data operations that are driven by a sequence of events. The pattern ensures that all changes to an application state are captured and stored as an immutable sequence of events, known as a log of events. The events are persisted in an event store, which acts as the system of record. Unlike traditional databases where only the latest status is saved, an event-based system saves all events into a database in sequential order. If you find a past event is incorrect, you can replay each event from a certain timestamp up to the present to recreate the latest status of data. Event sourcing is commonly implemented with a command query responsibility segregation (CQRS) system to perform data computation tasks in response to events. To implement CQRS with Kafka, you can use Kafka Connect, along with a database, or alternatively use Kafka with the streaming database ksqlDB.In addition, Anna also shares about:Data at rest and data in motion techniques for event modelingThe differences between event streaming and event sourcingHow CQRS, change data capture (CDC), and event streaming help you leverage event-driven systemsThe primary qualities and advantages of an event-based storage systemUse cases for event sourcing and how it integrates with your systemsEPISODE LINKSEvent Sourcing courseEvent Streaming in 3 MinutesIntroducing Derivative Event SourcingMeetup: Event Sourcing and Apache KafkaWatch the video version of this podcastJoin the Confluent CommunityLearn more with Kafka tutorials, resources, and guides at Confluent DeveloperLive demo: Intro to Event-Driven Microservices with ConfluentUse PODCAST100 to get an additional $100 of free Confluent Cloud usage (details)

As most developers and architects know, data always needs to be accessible no matter what happens outside of the system. This week, Tim Berglund virtually sits down with Anna McDonald (Principal Customer Success Technical Architect, Confluent) to discuss how Automatic Observer Promotion (AOP) can help solve the Apache Kafka® 2.5 datacenter dilemma as a feature now available in Confluent Platform 6.1 and above. Many industries must have a backup plan not only to do the right thing by the data that they collect but because they are regulated by law to do so. Anna has a knack for preparing operations that makes replication of data possible both synchronously and asynchronously. To avoid roadblocks in stretch clusters, she’s found that you need both a replication factor and a minimum in-sync replica (ISR). There needs to be a consideration for not just one but multiple copies for the protection of your data criteria. Not replicating the correct number on the datacenter can mean that your application is down, and there’s no way to retrieve vital information during this outage. The presence of observers enables asynchronous replicas that don’t count towards that minimum ISR. These ISRs work because they help recover data without invalidating any other standards. Architects should try to maintain topic availability during an event in a two-zone configuration. This assures that the writes go to both zones during normal operation without compromise. With the newest version of Confluent, you can get data in sync and within the minimum ISR. AOP is an excellent solution for developers who want to prepare for the unexpected and maintain accessibility across zones. When you can avoid manual interruption, you’re more likely to avoid errors and tedious operations, which would otherwise lead to a higher probability of data loss. In other exciting news, Anna shares about discovering patterns in order to make the entire Confluent ecosystem more automatic. EPISODE LINKSAutomatic Observer Promotion Brings Fast and Safe Multi-Datacenter Failover with Confluent Platform 6.1Amusing Ourselves to DeathJoin the Confluent CommunityLearn more with Kafka tutorials, resources, and guides at Confluent DeveloperLive demo: Kafka streaming in 10 minutes on Confluent CloudUse 60PDCAST to get an additional $60 of free Confluent Cloud usage (details)

Defining KafkaApache Kafka is an open-source stream-processing software platform which aims to provide a unified, high-throughput, low-latency platform for handling real-time data feeds. Anna McDonald, one of the Apache Kafka experts we speak with in this episode, describes it like this, “The easiest way to describe it is a durable log. And that makes it different from most all other messaging systems, where a message goes in, you have to broadcast it out. And as soon as it's consumed, it's gone. And Apache Kafka, it lives until your retention period, which is fantastic. ” Ricardo Ferreria, another expert on Apache Kafka, adds to this definition, “Kafka is not actually a messaging technology, it’s more of a data streaming technology.”How Kafka is different from other messaging brokersPull-based  — Kafka data consumers  fetch data when, how, and how fast they need it, without affecting performance. In push-based messaging technologies, the broker pushes messages to consumers, creating potential bottlenecks and scalability issues.Schema-free — Kafka is by nature schema-less, so you can use the format that you want, or the one that your producers and consumers are going to use to communicate.High volume — Anna says, “Nothing can handle volume like Kafka. That’s my favorite thing.” Backwards compatibility — Anna offers, “Kafka does a better job of having backwards compatibility than anything I've ever seen in my entire life, like in terms of the clients and not breaking stuff. It's fantastic.”The Kafka ecosystem — Kafka is integrated with APIs like Kafka Streams, Producer, Consumer, Admin, and Connect.Treat Kafka as your “single source of truth”Both of our experts today talk about treating Kafka as your “single source of truth,” your system of record. Ricardo explains further, “You can have multiple different consumers interested in the same data set, but each one of them are using the data set differently. So when you start using Kafka this way, you start building architectures that are not only super resilient and scalable, but also it is a very good replacement for very expensive end databases.”Try Apache Kafka on Platfporm.sh today to get your “single source of truth” Platform.shLearn more about us.Get started with a free trial.Have a question?

In today's spooktacular episode of Streaming Audio, Anna McDonald (Technical Account Manager, Confluent) discusses six of the scariest Apache Kafka® JIRAs. Starting with KAFKA-6431: Lock Contention in Purgatory, Anna breaks down what purgatory is and how it’s not something to fear or avoid. Next, she dives into KAFKA-8522: Tombstones Can Survive Forever, where she explains tombstones, compacted topics, null values, and log compaction. Not to mention there’s KAFKA-6880: Zombie Replicas Must Be Fenced, which sounds like the spookiest of them all. KAFKA-8233, which focuses on the new TestTopology mummy (wrapper) class, provides one option for setting the topology through your Kafka Screams Streams application. As Anna puts it, "This opens doors for people to build better, more resilient, and more interesting topologies." To close out the episode, Anna talks about two more JIRAs: KAFKA-6738, which focuses on the Kafka Connect dead letter queue as a means of handling bad data, and the terrifying KAFKA-5925 on the addition of an executioner API.
