I'm a first-time founder and long-time data enthusiast, here to share technical deep dives, best practices, and war stories from building Streambased. I live and breathe Kafka. As an early employee of Confluent (the company started by Kafka’s original creators). I've spent nearly 7 years developing core technology across the Kafka ecosystem, including contributing KIPs and commits to the upstream Apache project. I’m now building Streambased. A data platform that indexes Kafka for fast, consistent and cost effective real-time analytics.
