About the Evening
Data practitioners don't solve hard problems in isolation. They solve them in rooms like this one.
Ververica hosts Data After Dark in cities across the globe, bringing together the engineers, architects, and data leaders who build and run real-time infrastructure. No keynotes. No vendor theatre. Just the community, in one room, talking about what actually matters.
This time, we're in Austin, TX.
Good drinks. Real conversations with the people facing the same infrastructure challenges you are.
What's on:
A Ververica engineer opens with Apache Flink® in production. What works, what doesn't, and what's next. He’ll end with a sneak preview of the latest with Apache Fluss.
Speaker: Hubert Dulay. Author of the O'Reilly books “Streaming Databases” and “Streaming Data Mesh.” Solutions Engineer at Ververica, real-time and streaming AI enthusiast
Topic: Bringing Agentic AI to Streaming
Agentic AI is only as good as the data it decides on, and outdated batch snapshots don't cut it. In this workshop, we build a pipeline together that runs LLMs and ML models directly in the Apache Flink stream: inference with sub-10ms latency, event-driven action loops, real data. You leave with a concrete architectural pattern that can be integrated directly into your stack.
After that, the room takes over. No agenda. Just the people who build and run data infrastructure.
Who belongs here:
Data and platform engineers working in streaming or real-time infrastructure
Architects and technical leads evaluating modern data platforms
Anyone in the Austin data scene looking to build real connections
