Building Event Driven Microservices with Stateful Streams

With Kai Wähner Technology Evangelist at Confluent.
Stockholm Engineering Leadership Meetup - November 1, 2017 at Schibsted in Stockholm

Event Driven Services come in many shapes and sizes from tiny event-driven functions that dip into an event stream, right through to heavy, stateful services which can facilitate request response. This practical talk makes the case for building this style of system using Stream Processing tools, defining a microservices architecture and leveraging Apache Kafka. We also walk through a number of patterns for how we actually put these things together to enable independent teams and autonomous development of microservices.
