The Kafka Streams API boasts a number of capabilities that make it well suited for maintaining the global state of a distributed system. At Imperva, we took advantage of Kafka Streams to build shared state microservices that serve as fault-tolerant, highly available single sources of truth about the state of objects in our system. Why we chose Kafka Streams.

Summary The ETL pattern that has become commonplace for integrating data from multiple sources has proven useful, but complex to maintain. For a small number of sources it is a tractable problem, but as the overall complexity of the data ecosystem continues to expand it may be time to identify new ways to tame the deluge of information. In this episode Tim Ward, CEO of CluedIn, explains the idea of eventual connectivity as a new paradigm for data integration.
