Confluent Developer ft. Tim Berglund, Adi Polak & Viktor Gamov
Hi, we’re Tim Berglund, Adi Polak, and Viktor Gamov and we’re excited to bring you the Confluent Developer podcast (formerly “Streaming Audio.”) Our hand-crafted weekly episodes feature in-depth interviews with our community of software developers (actual human beings - not AI) talking about some of the most interesting challenges they’ve faced in their careers. We aim to explore the conditions that gave rise to each person’s technical hurdles, as well as how their experiences transformed their understanding and approach to building systems.
Whether you’re a seasoned open source data streaming engineer, or just someone who’s interested in learning more about Apache Kafka®, Apache Flink® and real-time data, we hope you’ll appreciate the stories, the discussion, and our effort to bring you a high-quality show worth your time.

Growing the Event Streaming Community During COVID-19 ft. Ale Murray
We've all been affected by COVID-19 in one way or another, resulting in big changes in workplace functionality, productivity, and even our relationships within the Apache Kafka® and Confluent communities as meetings and events have needed to turn virtual.
Ale Murray (Global Community Manager, Confluent) shares interesting trends, changes in community metrics, and what we’ve done to adapt as a response. Ale also explains what makes a comprehensive community program and the value of community meetups in light of the pandemic.
Despite how much we miss in-person interactions, by digitizing events and focusing on the community, we saw great growth in attendance and engagement across our Slack community, online hackathons, MVP program, and online meetups over the last couple of months, proving that nothing can stop this amazing community from thriving.
