**This will be a virtual event. The Zoom link will be emailed to those who have RSVP-ed** Topic: The need for data in a real time manner is becoming more of a requirement for applications and reporting. How do we reliably make data such as user actions, transactions etc available as soon as possible for the end user? The introduction of systems such as Kafka have made this headache a lot easier. This presentation will use Kafka to answer the questions: - What is a publish-subscribe messaging system? - Why would I need to use one? - How do I set up a fault tolerant, highly available application that will deliver the data I need when I need it?
