SUMMARY:Democratizing Access to Kafka at Scale: Running a Multi-Tenant Stre
 aming Platform Under Strict Regulation
LOCATION:Room 2008
DESCRIPTION:Julia Lok\, Derek Troy-West\n\nOn an average day\, around 400 e
 ngineers across TD interact with our event streaming platform. Almost none
  of them sit on the platform team\, and all of them work inside one of the
  most heavily regulated industries in North America. So how do we balance 
 broad self-service against strict regulatory obligation\, giving engineers
  free rein while meeting the auditing and access requirements that come wi
 th banking? That is the operational problem we set out to solve. This talk
  walks through how we built and operate a multi-tenant Kafka platform that
  treats governance as an enabler of self-service rather than a brake on it
 . We will cover the tenancy model that isolates teams across a shared clus
 ter estate\, role-based access control mapped to topics\, consumer groups\
 , and schemas\, and the staged approval workflows that let us automate int
 ake without losing the audit trail. We will go into data masking for sensi
 tive payloads\, the audit logging that turns regulatory compliance into a 
 byproduct of normal operation rather than a separate effort\, and the data
  catalog to operationalise metadata and give engineers a way to discover a
 nd understand the streams available to them. Throughout\, we will be hones
 t about what worked\, what we rebuilt\, and the operational debt we are st
 ill paying down. You will leave with a concrete picture of how to scale Ka
 fka access beyond a single team\, where the governance controls actually n
 eed to live\, and how to make compliance a property of the platform instea
 d of a tax on every team using it. This is a real-world account of operati
 ng event streaming at scale under regulation\, from the people who run it.
