Apache Kafka Data Access Semantics: Consumers and Membership

Confluent

Every developer who uses Apache Kafka ® has used a Kafka consumer at least once. Although it is the simplest way to subscribe to and access events from Kafka, behind the scenes, Kafka consumers handle tricky distributed systems challenges like data consistency, failover and load balancing. Consistency.

Introducing Derivative Event Sourcing

Confluent

First, what is event sourcing? We can answer all those questions because the individual events that make up our balance are stored. In fact, it’s the summation of these events that result in our current account balance. This, in a nutshell, is event sourcing. Event sourcing: primary vs. derivative.

Putting Events in Their Place with Dynamic Routing

Confluent

Event-driven architecture means just that: It’s all about the events. In a microservices architecture, events drive microservice actions. No event, no shoes, no service. In the most basic scenario, microservices that need to take action on a common stream of events all listen to that stream.

Journey to Event Driven – Part 3: The Affinity Between Events, Streams and Serverless

Confluent

FaaS functions only solve the compute part, but where is data stored and managed, and how is it accessed? What is more, as the world adopts the event-driven streaming architecture, how does it fit with serverless? The key to event-first systems design is understanding that a series of events captures behavior. Next Steps.

They Handle 500B Events Daily. Here’s Their Data Engineering Architecture.

Monte Carlo

While not every company needs to process millions of events per second, understanding these advanced architectures helps us make better decisions about our own data infrastructure, whether we’re handling user recommendations, ride-sharing logistics, or simply figuring out which meeting rooms are actually being used.
