PICKUP DATA - A Kafka Adventure Game

Apache Kafka is an event-streaming database that needs a different mental model to get the best out of it, and the best way to acquire new mental models is by building something!

In this talk we'll revisit a classic game - a Text-Based Adventure - and rebuild it as an event-based application.

Along the way we'll learn to think in streams, explore some design patterns, and see how Kakfa handles data-processing, state management and more.
