Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Before we dive into this new database, let’s talk a little bit about your background. 

Topic 2 - Let’s first talk about Kafka. What is it,. what does it do, and what are common use-cases that use Kafka?

Topic 3 - Kafka handles all these streams of data / events, but there are a bunch of other pieces needed to connect the data to the applications. What are those pieces, and where are their often challenges?

Topic 4 - Let’s talk about this new project - ksqlDB. It’s real-time, it’s Kafka and it’s SQL. Walk us through how it was created and the types of challenges it solves for.
