Kafka in the Cloud: Why it’s 10x better with Confluent | Find out more
Let us cut to the chase: Kafka Summit London session videos are available! If you were there, you know what a great time it was, and you know that you had to make sometimes-agonizing decisions about which sessions to attend and which to miss. Well, now you can make all those tradeoffs right by watching the whole catalog. And if you weren’t there? Well, dig in and start learning!
It’s always fun to share the numbers from each Summit. This year’s London event was almost double the size of last year, so I’m especially happy to see these numbers on the page:

On September 17-18, the data streaming world will descend upon Austin, Texas for Current 2024––bringing the community together to discuss all things Apache Kafka® and Apache Flink®. You’ll hear from tech leaders, industry giants, and startups as they drop a seemingly endless supply of knowledge...
