Having been an early adopter of Kafka, he did know one thing. He didn’t want his organization having to deal with the difficulty of managing it. 18 months later, he’s free from those worries with a trusted partner working along side him to prove it. Come hear about Rollbar’s transformation from beleaguered and on-edge engineering team, to one that’s empowered to drive organizational wide value.
Speakers include Ali Faiz, Head of Engineering, Rollbar, Google Cloud Leader, and Jamie Arlen, Chief Information Security Officer and Head of Technical Shared Services, Aiven. |
