More talks on:

Apache Kafka is a de facto standard streaming data processing platform and is being widely deployed as a persistent messaging system in event-driven architectures. 

In this workshop, we’ll explore several of the design patterns commonly used in event-driven microservices architectures, discuss some of the challenges and trade-offs that are made when designing event-driven systems and put all these ideas to practice as we’ll build an event-driven order processing application.
