about this room
Autodesk's streaming team shows how it replaced bespoke streaming apps with a shared eventing platform on Kafka and Flink, where producers publish canonical events once and consumers declare a pipeline in configuration.
Supreetha Venkatesha (Software Engineer) and Seema Kamaraddy (Principal Engineer), both at Autodesk, give the main talk at 18:30, covering multi-destination fan-out from one source and what running it has taught them. Then a first-ever data streaming quiz, and "Epic Fails", an open mic for short, honest stories of clusters brought down and wrong topics replayed. Food and networking from 18:00; finishes at 21:00. Run by the Confluent-backed Dublin Kafka group.
Free, at Autodesk, 1 Windmill Lane, 2nd floor. Register with your real details and bring valid photo ID for building access. Over-18s only.
a platform-engineering talk from a company running this at real scale, plus an open floor for failures, where the best lessons usually are. For data and backend engineers on streaming systems.
