Coming out of a whirlwind year for the event streaming world, Tim Berglund sits down with Gwen Shapira (Engineering Leader, Confluent), Ben Stopford (Senior Director, Office of the CTO, Confluent), and Michael Noll (Principal Technologist, Office of the CTO, Confluent) to take a guess at what 2021 will bring. The experts share what they believe will happen for analytics, frameworks, multi-cloud services, stream processing, and other topics important to the event streaming space. These Apache Kafka® related predictions include the future of the Kafka cluster partitions and removing restrictions that users have found in the past, such as too many variations and excessive concurrency as it relates to your number of partitions.Ben also thinks that ZooKeeper will continue to maintain open source servers for highly reliable application distribution. Kafka clusters will still be able to keep the most important data while growing in size at record speed with ZooKeeper, although it will no longer be required with KIP-500 removing ZooKeeper dependency. This upgrade allows Kafka and ZooKeeper to run independently in deployment while Kafka’s cluster capability will increase.Michael expects a continued need for COVID-19 tracking as well as enhanced event streaming capabilities. Ben believes that scalable Tiered Storage for Kafka will increase productivity and benefit workloads. Gwen predicts that databases will become more conventional by the end of next year, leading to new data architectural design with the support of Kafka.EPISODE LINKSKIP-500: Apache Kafka Without ZooKeeper ft.

Apache Kafka ist im Grunde wie das Zentrale Nervensystem, wenn es um Serverarchitekturen geht. Die Eventstreaming-Plattform wird in der Verarbeitung von Datenströmen genutzt und ist omnipräsent, um kontinuierlichen Datenfluss und seine Interpretation zu erlauben. Wenn unser Gast Michael Noll seinen Kindern erklärt was Kafka ist, dann sagt er: “Du nutzt Kafka immer dann, wenn du dein Smartphone benutzt!” Michael ist Principal Technologist bei Confluent, einer Firma, die für die ursprüngliche Entwicklung und heutige Weiterentwicklung von Kafka verantwortlich ist. Er beantwortet uns grundlegende Fragen nach Begriffen wie Broker, Client und Topics, erklärt aber auch wie diese Elemente zusammenhängen. Warum die Plattform unter der Motorhaube wie ein großer Commitlog aufgebaut ist, und was in diesem Zusammenhang der Unterschied zwischen Streams und Tables ist, erfahren wir in dieser Folge. Über Michael könnt ihr mehr auf seiner Webseite und seinem Twitter-Profil erfahren. Picks of the Day Michael: Hier schreibt Michael selbst über die in dieser Folge angesprochenen Streams und Tables von Kafka. Weiterführende Informationen zum Thema erhaltet ihr auf der Blog-Serie "What Every Software Engineer Should Know about Apache Kafka: Events, Streams, Tables, Storage, Processing, And More" von Michael. In diesem Artikel erfahrt ihr, warum jeder Softwareengineer wissen sollte, was ein Commitlog ist. Jojo: So ermöglichen Dart Defines die dynamische Parametrisierung des Builds in allen Teilen eines Flutter Projekts. Fabi: Tim, unser neuer Kollege bei Lotum, hat im wöchentlichen CoP-Meeting ein Tool vorgestellt, das Fabi bereits in dieser Woche Zeit erspart hat: Quokka.js, ein Produktivitätstool für JavaScript- und TypeScript-Prototyping. Schreibt uns!

Jason Bell (Apache Kafka® DevOps Engineer, digitalis.io, and Author of “Machine Learning: Hands-On for Developers and Technical Professionals” ) delves into his 32-year journey as a DevOps engineer and how he discovered Apache Kafka. He began his voyage in hardware technology before switching over to software development. From there, he got involved in event streaming in the early 2000s where his love for Kafka started. His first Kafka project involved monitoring Kafka clusters for flight search data, and he's been making magic ever since!Jason first learned about the power of the event streaming during Michael Noll’s talk on the streaming API in 2015. It turned out that Michael had written off 80% of Jason’s streaming API jobs with a single talk. As a Kafka DevOps engineer today, Jason works with on-prem clusters and faces challenges like instant replicas going down and bringing other developers who are new to Kafka up to speed so that they can eventually adopt it and begin building out APIs for Kafka. He shares some tips that have helped him overcome these challenges and bring success to the team.EPISODE LINKSMachine Learning: Hands-On for Developers and Technical Professionals by Jason Bell Join the Confluent Community SlackLearn 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)

In today’s episode, Michael Noll (Principal Technologist, Confluent) and Tim Berglund (Senior Director of Developer Advocacy, Confluent) discuss a series of fundamental questions: What is Kafka? What is an event? How do we organize and store events? And what is Kafka Streams? Over the course of this episode, Michael covers an in-depth look into Kafka technology and core concepts: the process of reading from a topic, differences between tables and streams, mutability, and what ksqlDB is and what its event streaming database features accomplish. If you've ever wanted to get a better grasp on how Kafka works, this episode is for you!EPISODE LINKSStreams and Tables in Apache Kafka: A PrimerStreams and Tables in Apache Kafka: Topics, Partitions, and Storage FundamentalsStreams and Tables in Apache Kafka: Processing Fundamentals with Kafka Streams and ksqlDBStreams and Tables in Apache Kafka: Elasticity, Fault Tolerance, and other Advanced ConceptsBrowse the Confluent HubJoin the Confluent Community SlackLearn more with Kafka tutorials, resources, and guides at Confluent Developer

Cory Haber is the VP of Technology for Furnished Quarters, a global corporate housing company. But he's also an educated painter. He's interviewed by Erin Allard, a Platform Support Engineer at Heroku, to delve into the effect technology has had on art, and vice versa. For Cory, art is about the intent of the artist; it's a moot point to ask whether anything a computer produces can be considered art. In the end, a human has trained an AI or written the software, and the computer becomes a tool, similar to a camera or a pen. Engaging in artist practices allows Cory to take a break from the purely logical examinations which programming requires of him. To some, it may be seen as procrastination, but he believes that the best way to solve a problem is to allow your mind to wander of. That's what his current painting practices allows him to do. At the same time, he also follows along on the generative art movement, which takes place primarily on Twitter. There, artists and programmers share their programs that generate art that can be represented on screens or canvases. The history of generative art goes back to the 60s. For individuals curious to learn more about this practice, he recommends the Processing programming language. Similar to a Jupyter notebook, it's a part-framework, part-application hybrid that works in generating visual arts. He also encourages individuals with no artistic background to just start taking classes on painting or music. No one knows everything about programming when they first start; they learn the skill and become better at it the more time they invest. Art is created under a similar focus.

With the recent passing of Los Angeles Times restaurant critic Jonathan Gold (who was also a very fine music critic), we're reminded of how important a role cultural criticism plays in our understanding of not just a particular aspect of culture (like food or music) but also in our understanding of a place and the people living there. In this panel, Michael Noll spoke to three music critics/scholars about their own approaches to writing about music and the culture, place, and people at the heart of it: Joe Gross, Kayleigh Hughes, and Omise'eke Tinsley.

Join us this Wednesday as we speak with Michael Noll

Michael Noll comes to chat with me at my Houston studio. We talk about his new book, "The Writer's Field Guide to the Craft of Fiction" (A Strange Object 2018), and the act of writing fiction in general. I do a lot of name-dropping... because why not! Really fun conversation. Take a listen.

In August 2017 at the Blanton Musuem of Art, this panel brought together writers and scholars who have explored and been inspired by myths and legendary tales from many traditions. What can we learn from the ways these myths were developed and revised for their audiences, and what appeal do they continue to have for modern readers and writers? Sheila Black, Dr. Richard R. Flores, P.J. Hoover, and Dr. Helena Woodard spoke on this panel, moderated by WLT Program Director by Michael Noll.

True stories can take the form of memoirs, personal essay, and first-person reportage. But where should the story begin, what is the right frame, how much context and background should the writer provide, and how does the personal fit within larger social and cultural narratives? At our May 19 Third Thursday, Michael Noll discussed these issues and more with panelists Antonio Ruiz-Camacho, Michael Hall, Donna Johnson, and Deb Olin Unferth.

Shorter doesn't always mean easier. Shorter doesn't always mean less important. The short story is a beautiful art form - the perfect choice (perhaps only choice) for many narratives. Many will also say that it is a thriving literary market right now. But how can a writer know when their idea should be a short story as opposed to something else? How deep can a writer go in a short story? How does one know when to end it? How can one tell if a short story can be (or should be) adapted into a novel? Where and how can one publish a short story? At our April 21 Third Thursday, Michael Noll discussed these issues and more with panelists Michael Barrett, Jill Meyers, Chaitali Sen, and Kirk Wilson.
