An Introduction to Redpanda Connect

PHP Hants is back!

This month we will be joined by Christopher Hoult, who will be sharing his talk "An Introduction to Redpanda Connect"

Schedule:
6-7pm: Arrival, pizza, and chat time
7-8pm: An Introduction to Redpanda Connect - Christopher Hoult
8pm onwards: Optional socialising at the pub

As companies grow, they continue to produce and ingest more and more data in the form of events, instrumentation and logs, but all too often just collect it in a central data store for analysis after the fact - if at all. Frequently this requires long ETL processes, combining disparate data sets for context missing at run-time, and slow ad-hoc queries.

In this talk, I will give an introduction to Redpanda Connect - which promises "fancy stream processing made operationally mundane" - and present some effective, configuration-centric techniques to not only improve your real-time processing efforts, but to derive more business value from your data flows.

You are welcome to arrive from 6pm when we will have pizza and time for socialising with fellow PHPers. The talk will start at 7pm and usually lasts til around 8pm. After the talk, we will head over to a local pub - all are welcome to join but no pressure if you want to head home afterwards instead!
