Talk:
Kafka Tiered Storage – Scaling Kafka Cost-Effectively

Abstract:
As businesses generate ever-growing volumes of real-time data, managing storage in Apache Kafka becomes both a technical and financial challenge. This talk explores Kafka Tiered Storage, a feature that allows Kafka to offload older data to cost-effective cloud object storage (like S3 or GCS) while retaining fast access to recent data on local disks. We’ll cover how tiered storage works, its configuration in Confluent Platform, real-world use cases, and how it enables scalable, long-term data retention without overwhelming your infrastructure or budget. This session is ideal for architects, developers, and platform teams looking to optimize Kafka for scale and cost-efficiency.

Bio:
I am a Senior Software Engineer with hands-on experience designing and building distributed data systems. Currently focused on streaming architectures, I have developed a Kafka Connect product that integrates with IBM i (AS400) systems, enabling real-time data pipelines for legacy environments. With deep expertise in Kafka, Spring Boot, and cloud-native technologies brings a practical perspective to solving modern data challenges in enterprise settings.
