Brendan Richards, Lead Engineer, Mantel Group

Bio:
Brendan is a Lead Engineer at Mantel Group and has been delivering successful web projects across diverse platforms and technologies since 1999.

He currently spends most of his day coding for clients, with occasional breaks to speak at .Net User Groups, hackdays and a few awesome conferences including NDC and DDD.
A few of his favorite things include Linux, Open Source, Event Driven Architectures, .NET Core, Mediatr, Entity Framework, ngrx and Apache Kafka

Talk:
Event Based Architectures with Apache Kafka® and .Net

Abstract:
Event driven design allows us to build complex, high throughput, low latency and highly available applications from decoupled components or services.

Event driven messaging requires a message broker / queue provider.

Apache Kafka is at its lowest level a powerful message broker - but that’s only scratching the surface!
Kafka Streams and KSQL leverage higher level concepts such as “table- stream duality” to build data driven applications from streams of events.
This talk will introduce the concepts before demonstrating how to put it all together in an by building an online trivia game.
