When creating event-driven microservices you generally need an event-backbone as the core of your architecture. At Voxxed Days Microservices I will be talking about the different approaches to event-driven microservices, including some advantages and disadvantages to the different approaches. I will also introduce Apache Kafka and explain why it is such a good fit for these kinds of applications.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Kafka is now the swiss-army knife for asynchronous events and streams. But when it comes to deal with asynchronous events, wouldn\u2019t a good old MOM (Message Oriented Middleware) be enough ?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
At first glance, it can seem like Kafka and Message Oriented Middleware off the same capabilities but there are some key differences. The most striking is the way they view the streams of messages or events. In Kafka, events are collected into an immutable and persistent event log. This means that once an event has been written to Kafka, consumers can re-read the event multiple times, and they will get the same event back each time they do so.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Good, see you soon then\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
I can\u2019t wait! I spoke at Voxxed Microservices Paris and I\u2019m so excited to be attending again this year.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
