Here's the challenge: we've got a Kafka topic, where services publish messages to be delivered to browser-based clients through web sockets. Sounds simple? It might, but we're faced with an increasing number of messages, as well as a growing count of web socket clients.
Event-Driven Architectures (EDA ) are perceived as mythical objects that instantly transform your systems into ""real-time"" ones! BUT, come to think of it, aren't they already ""real-time""? I mean, adding an item to the cart is pretty much instant in ( most ) webshops.
Kafka has become more than a simple message bus: with a full stack of tooling and new concepts, it’s easy to start deploying complex service meshes, communicating through Kafka, enabling decoupled microservices, stable performance, high scalability and reusability.
Event-driven systems come in different shapes and sizes, and the rules for payload construction are: there are no rules (but there are guidelines). Flexible payloads are both the best and worst thing about event streaming - you never quite know what to expect from each system's payloads.
FREE NOW business is growing rapidly as a ride-hailing industry in general which creates a fair amount of technical challenges related to real-time data aggregation and processing.
In this talk I’ll go over how we built an opinionated Kafka client to easily enable Data Scientists to deploy and own production Kafka consumers, by focusing on writing python functions rather than fighting pitfalls with Kafka.
Whilst Kafka has the ability to encrypt data in transit, it does not have the functionality out of the box to encrypt data at rest. This places the responsibility of encryption of data placed on message queues on developers. Implementing cryptography correctly in our applications is challenging ...
