Event Driven Architecture with Apache Kafka

Details

The inversion of flow from a top-down, request oriented system to one where data flows in real-time from the bottom-up provides a significant decoupling between systems and amazing flexibility for future expansion. This concept is at the core of Event Driven Architecture and helps drive forward a domain driven microservice ecosystem. Apache Kafka is a natural choice for building event driven systems because it’s reliable, easily scalable and “wicked fast”!

Shandon Miller, Senior Engineer at Manulife, will discuss the most popular approaches to designing event driven solution and how to implement such a system yourself.

Agenda:
6pm: Doors Open
6:30pm - 7:30pm: Tech Talk
7:30pm - 8:15pm: Q&A and Networking
