I spoke at Apache Kafka meetup (organized by the Confluent folks) in Chennai yesterday, which I also co-organized with a fellow friend.
My talk covered CocoIndex’s new Kafka connector (and a usecase based on it). I figured it’d be a relevant topic to talk about at an Apache community meetup (+ I also contribute to CocoIndex).
