Confluent Developer ft. Tim Berglund, Adi Polak & Viktor Gamov Building an Apache Kafka Center of Excellence Within Your Organization ft. Neil Buesing
Neil Buesing, an Apache Kafka® community stalwart at Object Partners, spends his days building things out of Kafka and helping others do the same. Today, he discusses the concept of a CoE (center of excellence), and how a CoE is integral to attain and sustain world-class performance, business value, and success in a business. Neil talks us through how to make a CoE successful, the importance of event streaming, how to better understand streaming technologies, and how to best utilize CoE for your needs. This includes evangelizing Kafka, building a Proof of Value (PoV) with team members, defining deliverables as part of that CoE, and understanding how to implement Kafka into your organization.
