Kafka Streams and Ansible Automates: Backbone for Building Scalable Event-Driven Systems

This conference talk explores how Apache Kafka and Ansible combine to create and manage robust event-driven systems for handling massive data streams. Learn how Kafka's distributed architecture supports real-time data pipelines for analytics, monitoring, and microservices communication while Ansible automates configuration management and deployment. Through practical examples and code snippets, discover how Kafka maintains fault tolerance for scalable data streams, how Ansible simplifies Kafka cluster deployments, and best practices for integrating automation with real-time data streaming in a DevOps environment. Gain a blueprint for building dynamic, event-driven systems that can scale with organizational needs. Presented by Ruchi Pakhle and Ruchika Suryawanshi at DevConf.IN 2025, this 25-minute session provides valuable insights for managing distributed systems in high-throughput environments.
