Event-based Architecture and Implementations with Kafka and Atom

Explore event-based architecture and its implementations using Kafka and Atom in this 46-minute conference talk from GOTO Berlin 2018. Delve into the benefits and challenges of event-driven systems, including decoupling and potential inconsistencies. Learn about Kafka topics, replication, and data persistence in microservices. Discover alternative approaches like Atom and custom formats. Gain insights on effectively splitting systems and designing robust event-based architectures. Perfect for software architects and developers interested in modern distributed systems design.

Intro
Independent Systems Architecture
Events - Communication between Bounded Contexts
Event: Decoupling
Events: Conclusion
THE END IS NEAR
Inconsistencies Either delivery without invoice
Persistence • Responsibility of the microservices
Kafka Topics Topics have a name
Kafka Replication ·N Replicas (configurable)
Data Data is copied into Invoice / delivery database
Kafka Conclusion - Provides access to old events
Alternative Roll your own format
Atom Conclusion Con provides access to old events if they are stored anyway.
Conclusion Most important: Getting the split right!
