Event-Driven Architecture Done Right: Deep Dive

Event-driven architectures are not new, but they are newly ascendant. For the first time since the client-server revolution of 40 years ago, a new architectural paradigm is changing the way we build systems. Apache Kafka and microservices are at the center of this movement.

In this workshop, we’ll discuss the issues that arise turning a monolith into a set of reactive services, including issues like data contracts, integrating with the systems you can't change, handling request-response interfaces, and more. We'll also discuss common infrastructure choices like Apache Flink and Apache Pinot. Hands-on exercises will focus on understanding your organization's data and forming a plan to refactor that monolith that seems like it will never go away.
