What to expect

Dive deep into the world of real-time data streaming with this in-person Singapore meetup focused on Apache Kafka and Apache Flink integration with GenAI. Whether you're building event-driven architectures or exploring AI-enabled analytics workflows, this evening brings together technical architects and streaming experts to tackle the challenges of modern data platforms.

The meetup features two compelling technical sessions that bridge streaming infrastructure and artificial intelligence. Dominique Ronde from Confluent presents "Guardians of the Stream: Kafka, Flink, and the Rise of GenAI," exploring how Apache Kafka and Apache Flink seamlessly integrate with GenAI to build intelligent systems capable of real-time learning, automation, and decision-making. Discover practical approaches to implementing AI-powered streaming applications that make autonomous decisions at scale.

Zabeer Farook, Technical Architect at Crédit Agricole CIB, follows with "Natural Language Analytics in the Lakehouse: Why is it harder than it looks?" This session tackles a critical challenge: AI agents and the Model Context Protocol make natural language analytics technically possible, but connecting LLMs directly to your Iceberg stack often produces confident, fluent, wrong answers. Learn why this happens — from incorrect metric formulas to invented business terms and wrong join paths — and discover the architectural pattern that fixes it: the unified semantic layer exposed as an MCP API.

What You'll Learn

  • Real-time integration patterns between Kafka, Flink, and GenAI systems
  • Building intelligent, self-learning streaming applications
  • Common pitfalls when connecting LLMs to lakehouse architectures
  • Semantic layer design for reliable AI-driven analytics
  • Production-ready approaches to event-driven AI workflows

This event is ideal for data engineers, solution architects, platform engineers, and anyone working with streaming data platforms, real-time analytics, or AI integration. The speakers bring extensive production experience: Dominique serves as a Flink subject matter expert across APAC with deep expertise in digital transformation and event streaming, while Zabeer contributes nearly 20 years of FSI technology architecture experience, including hands-on work with Kafka, Flink, Spark, and Kubernetes.

The evening includes networking opportunities before and after the talks, with food and drinks provided. The ve
