Listen to Tim Berglund, Gwen Shapira, and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
Author Sam Newman catches up with Tim Berglund in the virtual studio on what microservices are, how they work, the drawbacks of microservices, what splitting the monolith looks like, and patterns to look for. The pair talk through Sam's book “Monolith to Microservices” chapter by chapter, looking at key components of microservices in more detail.
In this podcast, Ben Stopford explores the event-driven paradigm and how it relates to the microservice architectures we build today. Ben dives deep into coupling, evolution and challenges of our increasingly data-oriented culture.
