Hybrid roundtable
Kafka Leadership Exchange: Cost, Governance & Growth at Enterprise Scale
An exclusive roundtable for streaming platform leaders. Join in person or online.
You've invested in Kafka. Your teams are shipping. Data is flowing.
But do you actually know how much it's costing you? Do you know who owns what, and what happens when something breaks at 2am?
Most platform leaders running Kafka in production share the same frustration: the infrastructure scales, but the visibility, governance, and operational overhead don't keep up. Topics accumulate. Costs drift. Teams wait on tickets that shouldn't exist.
This roundtable brings together platform owners, data integration leads, and streaming engineers from enterprise organizations to talk honestly about what's working, what isn't, and what the most mature teams are doing differently.
What to expect
- Where Kafka costs actually hide, and how to quantify the waste in your own estate
- What "good" Kafka governance looks like in an enterprise
- How a governed Kafka estate accelerates your AI initiatives
- How leading organizations are moving from reactive operations to federated ownership
- A live customer story: how a leading enterprise scaled Kafka 5x without growing the platform team
