How Things Work - Inside Kafka StreamsAbstract:
In this session, we’ll dissect Kafka Streams, one of the major streaming frameworks within the Kafka ecosystem. We’ll uncover how it achieves high performance, high availability, and scalability — characteristics found in many distributed systems. You’ll come away with reusable patterns that apply across distributed systems, a sharper lens for comparing frameworks, and a clearer view of the strengths and weaknesses of a streaming framework.💡 Speaker Two:
