Keynote Panel Discussion: SMACK Today and Tomorrow
summary
Panelists state that the SMACK mix—Kafka, Spark, Mesos, Akka, Cassandra—powers real deployments for personalization, fraud detection, customer 360 and IoT; they cite more than 50% of attendees running parts of the stack and ask-for-hands showing ~90% awareness of Kafka. Cassandra is framed as an always-on, real-time responses datastore, Kafka as a wicked-fast distributed streaming platform with Confluent Cloud and replication tools for hybrid/multi-cloud, and Mesos as the portable orchestration layer. They report incremental adoption, production maturity, and active open-source evolution.
