Abstract: Who are you? You are a talented developer who has been using Apache Kafka in your projects on-premise for a very long time, as well as writing cool Java code to write and read data to/from topics. However, recently your manager asked you to design an architecture in which both Apache Kafka and your code will run in the cloud -- and just like that -- you find yourself worried about being able to deliver this project.

This talk is going to reveal that there is nothing to be worried about -- though you may need to learn a few tips and tricks to will ensure the success of your projects. It will be shown through an interactive demonstration, which changes you have to make in your code, as well as which type of problems arise when dealing with cloud deployments.
