Kafka Summit London is a premier data event that brings together “the best and brightest minds in data streaming”. For us at RisingWave, it is a unique opportunity to showcase our product(s), announce new features and offerings, network with other data practitioners, and stay updated with the latest trends in data processing. This year, we are heading to London at full st(r)eam ahead and are happy to offer several opportunities for you all to connect with us and learn more about RisingWave Labs.
Data Stream Social
To warm up for the two days of intense tech talks, we are hosting a data stream social with our partners: QuestDB, Quix and WarmStream. This is a great opportunity for everyone arriving in London on Monday to meet with us and network with peers even before the main event starts. But, that’s not all. We added some lightning talks and will have a pub quiz to add to the fun, but we promise to keep things lightweight throughout.
Lightning Talks
- Javier Ramirez (QuestDB): The fastest open source time-series database
- Rayees Pasha (RisingWave): Unleashing the Power of SQL for Streaming Processing
- Tun Shwe (Quix): Python stream processing made simple
- Ryan Worl (WarpStream): Use cloud economics to reduce the cost of Kafka by 80%
Pub Quiz
Bring all your data knowledge with you as the MC duo Tun Shwe and Rayees Pasha have prepared some not-that-easy-but-fun questions. Pair up with peers to showcase your knowledge and win some swag and gift cards.

Visit Us at Booth 206
This year, we are happy to support Kafka Summit London as a silver sponsor. We will be at Booth 206, which serves as a touchpoint for us to engage with anyone interested in RisingWave – users, customers, other data practitioners, community champions, and others.
Stop by our booth at any time, to:
- Talk to our solutions architects. RisingWave continues to amaze users and with new features and functionalities delivered month after month, RisingWave can be the right solution for you. Discuss with our solution architects your use case(s) and learn how RisingWave can address your needs. If you want to lock in a particular time, book your slot here.
- Learn about RisingWave products. RisingWave Lab develops RisingWave Database (open source) and RisingWave Cloud. This is an opportunity to learn about the latest RisingWave Database v1.7 released a week ago and a new set of features introduced to RisingWave Cloud.
- Watch a demo comparing RisingWave and Apache Flink. For anyone who asked us how RisingWave stands against Apache Flink, we have put together a short demo that compares performance metrics between RisingWave and Flink using a Grafana dashboard.
- Meet the team. Here's your chance to meet some of the people behind RisingWave and grab a coffee with them. Now that you are all annoyed by seeing frozen Zoom screens, here's your opportunity to have face-to-face conversations with us.
- Score some swag. We are bringing some fresh, off-the-press swag to London. We can’t wait to debut our new colors and redesigned mascot, Wavy. Make sure you're in time to grab our swag before it's gone. By scheduling a demo in advance, we’ll have some exclusive swag saved for you.
Don’t Miss Yingjun Wu’s Talk
On Tuesday, March 19, from 3:30–4:15 PM GMT (add to your calendar), Yingjun Wu will get to present his talk: Modifying Your SQL Streaming Queries on the Fly: The Impossible Trinity. For all of you curious about how to make modifications to long-running streaming queries without halting existing queries and initiating new ones, Yingjun will introduce the concept of the "impossible trinity" to explain how to embrace a more pragmatic approach that balances the trade-offs inherent in the impossible trinity.
