Real-Time Data Architecture: Events & CQRS with Kafka
Unlocking Scalability and Resilience: Event Sourcing and CQRS with Kafka In the ever-evolving world of software development, building systems that are both scalable and resilient is paramount. Enter event sourcing and CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation), two architectural patterns that empower developers to create robust and adaptable applications. When paired with a powerful message broker like Kafka, these patterns unlock new levels of scalability, performance, and maintainability. Event Sourcing: A Foundation for Change Event sourcing fundamentally reimagines how we store application state. Instead of storing the current state directly, it focuses on recording every change to the system as an event. These events are immutable and provide a complete audit trail of the system's history. Think of it like a...
