👉 Using Events and Messaging In The Wild
Distributed systems are great! However, they tend to need some 'glue' to work properly. Usually, that's a backbone events or messaging system.

In this talk, we'll talk about some practical considerations for using a message broker in a real-life scenario. We'll talk about message tracking, versioning, strategies for dealing with large messages, and dealing with failures and dead-letters.
