On April 23, 2018, the Moscow office of
CROC hosted a meeting of the Moscow community of Java developers
jug.msk.ru , which was addressed by Viktor Gamov. The presentation is a product of
Apache Kafka .

About speaker
Victor is the co-founder and leader of the podcast
Debriefing . At
jug.msk.ru, he spoke for the third time. Previous performances were
November 13, 2014 (about the project
Nashorn ) and
May 4, 2016 (about the
Hazelcast ). Most recently, many could see him at the
JPoint 2018 conference, where the
report was also about
Kafka .
Victor made the first report while working at
Farata Systems , the second at
Hazelcast , now at
Confluent .

There is still a list of videos from Victor’s reports
here , the presentation files are
here . From the reports made by him since his last appearance on
jug.msk.ru , seemed particularly interesting:
- “Riding on jet streams” ( Joker 2016 : video , presentation )
- Testing containers with TestContainers ( Atlanta JUG-2017 : video , presentation )
- Amazon Alexa Skills vs Google Home Actions the Big Java VUI Faceoff (with Baruch Sadogursky on Devoxx Belgium 2017 : video )
About the report
Handshake before the meeting. Andrei Kogun talks about upcoming events:
the submission of reports to the
Joker 2018 conference is
open, and the
ITTTT 2018 IT festival is expected in the fall. The organizer of both events is the
JUG.ru Group .

The meeting was held in the form of questions and answers. At first, an approximate list of questions of interest was formed:
- IMap vs. Kafka
- KSQL deployment
- Kafka Streams vs. Spark
- Kafka vs. Mq

Victor did not forget the theoretical foundations and features of the product (his closest reports on this topic were from
DevNexus 2018 and
JPoint 2018 ).

At the break and at the end of the meeting, it was possible (and necessary) to ask more questions, communicate and reinforce the strength with tea, coffee and company Krokovsky buns.
Mini-presentation of Victor. Photos will be available soon on
VK and
Google+ , videos on
YouTube . You can also
