Listen to Tim Berglund and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
Event-driven architecture has taken on numerous meanings over the years—from event notification to event-carried state transfer, to event sourcing, and CQRS. Why has event-driven programming become so popular, and why is it such a topic of interest? Simon Aubury (Principal Data Engineer, ThoughtWorks) is here to tell all, including his own experiences adopting event-driven technologies and common blunders when working in this area.
Bobby Calderwood, the founder of Evident Systems, discusses event streaming, event modeling, and event-driven architecture.
Jay Smith discusses the definition of serverless, serverless eventing, data-driven vs. event-driven architecture, sources and sinks, and hybrid cloud with on-prem components.
Inventory management systems are crucial for reducing real-time inventory data drift, improving customer experience, and minimizing out-of-stock events. Kafka provides seamless inventory tracking at scale, saving billions of dollars in the supply chain, making modernized data architectures more important to retailers now more than ever. In this episode, we’ll discuss how Kafka enables stateful event streaming on a cloud-native platform for application and architecture modernization, leveraging Spring Boot, Kafka Streams, and Apache Cassandra.
Bernd Ruecker, a co-founder and the chief technologist at Camunda, talks through the company's journey, how he ended up in open source, and all things automation. Bernd also dives into dead letter topics in Kafka, software interacting with software, orchestration tension, and best practices for approaching challenges that pop up along the way. This episode will take you through a thorough introduction of the Komodo Cloud as well as Camunda’s Kafka connector.
