I was nominated to the Databricks Beacons program almost a year ago (which I consider similar to…
This post describes the reasons to run a brand new Warsaw Data Engineering meetup group (and shutting down the existing group Warsaw Scala Enthusiasts). Join us!

That’d been not so long since the first workshop with Apache Kafka and Kafka Streams when I was asked to run a workshop with Apache Kafka. I’ve had more and more workshops with Apache Kafka recently (mostly for developers), but the recent inquiry was completely different — I had to…
