Missing the Current NOLA energy? Catch the latest Life Is But A Stream from the expo floor, where @thedatagiant and @AdiPolak break down keynote highlights, community perspectives, and what’s new across Apache Kafka®, ApacheFlink®, and agentic AI. Tune in here ➡️ cnfl.io/48bdMrO | #Current25

That moment when someone promotes your video before you even get the chance 😄 Appreciate you, Tim - I knew I’d hit the sweet spot with Tableflow + Iceberg + LLM for analytics 📊✨

@tlberglund @confluentinc Aww, thank you, Tim! I do care - sometimes too much 😅. And I bet you know better than most the special joy 🫠 of watching yourself over and over again and spotting all tiny things that could be done differently :D

Also, can I just give a shout-out to her videos? Zero fluff, and she brings serious "I actually care about this" energy that really draws me in. And yes, she works on the @confluentinc DevRel team, so perhaps this shout-out is self-serving. But it is also true. :)

When I woke up today, I thought "I would like to take some data in Kafka, get it into Iceberg via Tableflow, and query it using Trino." And obviously I wanted to write my queries in English. Happily @OlenaKutsenko was way ahead of me: youtube.com/watch?v=EnxfTd…

Whom else will I see at #DevoxxUK this year? ;)

The kind of movie I go to the cinema for: starring #Debezium, #ApacheFlink, #Postgres, directed and presented by @gunnarmorling . At @BigDataConfEU in one of Vilnius' cinemas! 😉

Packed house for the most fabulous @OlenaKutsenko at @BigDataConfEU! Too much text on the slides though 😜.

@paulosalem Thank you, Paulo! TinyTroupe is a great library, I highly appreciate the effort you're putting into it!

Thanks for making the first TinyTroupe video review that I heard of, @OlenaKutsenko ! I'm glad you had some fun :-) And I appreciate your careful evaluation and feedback.

@TheDanicaFine Killing it!🔥 Looking forward to learn about Apache Iceberg 😎

First real #setLifeSelfie of the new job! Keep an eye out for the exciting #apacheIceberg content to come! 👀 Yes, I'm only on my second week. Why do you ask? 😅

Just me messing around with #Microsoft’s new #TinyTroupe library to see how it handles human behavior and interactions🤖 Sharing some thoughts on what’s cool and what’s kinda meh - youtube.com/watch?v=7rcf7m…

Time to move away from Twitter to BlueSky. You can find me here - bsky.app/profile/olenak… with @olenakutsenko.bsky.social

@ShadowTrafficIO is an excellent tool, powerful and easy to use. I enjoyed exploring its numerous features. Many thanks to @MichaelDrogalis for creating it and making it easier for many to generate complex datasets for a wide range of scenarios! aiven.io/developer/synt…

@gunnarmorling @TheDanicaFine @thegeeknarrator Exactly, "almost" ;)

@OlenaKutsenko @TheDanicaFine @thegeeknarrator Almost as amazing as the ones here in Hamburg ;)

The End of an Era... and the Beginning of the Next! As of last week, I've wrapped up my journey as a Developer Advocate at Confluent. 🧵

@thegeeknarrator @gunnarmorling @TheDanicaFine Glüwein and Döner - such a German combo ;)

@gunnarmorling @OlenaKutsenko @TheDanicaFine Yeah but then there is also Döner.

@TheDanicaFine @thegeeknarrator @gunnarmorling No pressure needed, I'm always happy to see you here!! Has anyone told you about amazing Christmas markets with hot wine we have here in Berlin? ;)

@thegeeknarrator @gunnarmorling Great idea! And we can pressure @OlenaKutsenko into hanging out with us when we arrive in Berlin, too.

@Sinjhin @AllThingsOpen @aiven_io Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!

@OlenaKutsenko @AllThingsOpen @aiven_io It was an awesome talk! Proper dive into the weeds a bit with a good amount of theory included.

Heading to my first @AllThingsOpen Conference in Raleigh, and I couldn't be more excited! If you’re interested in all things vector search, join my talk on Tuesday from 11:30 am to 12:15 pm—I’d love to see you there! And don’t forget to swing by @aiven_io 's booth to say hi 😉

@jpcampbell42 @aiven_io Thank you for coming to my talk! Happy you found it useful!

@OlenaKutsenko gives an excellent discussion of vector search approaches. Takeaway: preprocess text segments for later retrieval by intended use. Takeaway: rules of thumb for choosing ANN index type. Thanks @aiven_io #AllThingsOpen

@boredabdel You inspired me to start running as well!! 🏃‍♀️Though I'm at a turtle speed still🐢

Not the time I was aiming for but still a new Personal Best 🙌 10km in 45:33 min (previously 47:09). So Im happy and grateful 🙏

Final time slot of #devoxxBE? Let's goooo! See you all at 1150 in room 5 for #apacheKafka Internals. 🫡 mobile.devoxx.com/events/dvbe24/…

Enjoying @DevoxxMA with @Oumyyyy_ and @oumayma_es_ 💚
