What is Event Streaming?

Overview

Modern applications need to respond to events triggered by users as they happen. Waiting minutes or even hours for a batch job is no longer acceptable. But we can't necessarily respond synchronously because that creates contention and bottlenecks that can slow our system to a halt. Instead, we rely on event streaming to allow near real-time, asynchronous processing of events. These systems are built using tools such as Apache Kafka. In this video, we'll discuss how we can use event streaming to implement an asynchronous communication strategy.
