Asynchronous events are a communication pattern that is used to build robust and scalable systems. These events are often pushed through a messaging platform such as Apache Kafka. Among their benefits are the ability to optimize resource usage, more flexibility for scaling, and new ways to recover from failure without losing data.

Streaming data brings with it some changes in how to perform joins. In this video, David Anderson and Dan Weston talk about how and when to use temporal joins to combine your data.

Continuous Integration (CI) is the process of automatically building and testing your code on every source control commit. Continuous Delivery (CD) takes this further and automatically deploys the code to production on every commit. Used together these techniques allow code to be built, tested, and deployed automatically through a robust CI/CD pipeline. CHAPTERS.

Lucia Cerchie explains what an Apache Kafka® Consumer Group ID is, and what role it plays in work sharing and rebalancing.

Polyglot Architecture is a feature of microservices that allows each microservice to be built using a different technology stack. This approach provides developers the freedom to select the best tools for the job and allows them to be more creative with their solutions. However, like with any powerful tool, it can have negative consequences if it isn't used properly. CHAPTERS.

From vehicle communication to predictive maintenance, real-time ingestion, analysis, and control has become an increasingly important characteristic of the machines we use in everyday life.

The Branch by Abstraction Pattern is a method of trunk-based development. Rather than modifying the code in a separate branch, and merging the results when finished, the idea is to make modifications in the main branch. An abstraction layer is used to ""branch"" the code along an old and new path. This approach has some key advantages, especially when decomposing a monolith.

Lucia Cerchie explains what an Apache Kafka® cluster is, and why it's unique. Learn how Kafka supports speed, scalability, and durability through its cluster structure.

The Strangler or Strangler Fig Pattern is a process for decomposing a monolith into microservices. It allows rapid delivery of business value while reducing risk. This video introduces the pattern and outlines how it can be used to decompose a monolith.
