For many, microservices are built on a protocol of requests and responses. REST etc. This approach is very natural. It is after all the way we write programs: we make calls to other code modules, await a response and continue. But when we step into a world of many independent services, things start to change. Our unfortunate Ops Engineers end up donning deerstalkers, as they play out distributed murder mysteries. Frantically running from service to service, piecing together snippets of second hand information. This is a well known problem and there are a number of solutions. We can use asynchronicity as a mechanism for doing this. Confluent provides a number of solutions for this, including Stream Designer, Connectors, ksqlDB, and Stream Governance that can help transform your business with streaming data pipelines for real-time data warehousing.
