Book Description
Incorporate Kafka successfully into large scale enterprise architectures.
Designing Kafka Systems teaches you how to incorporate Kafka into enterprise applications. This book stays above the code-level details, focusing instead on how to use Kafka to achieve your technical and business goals.
In Designing Kafka Systems you will find:
• Kafka’s role in enterprise software
• The event-driven architecture pattern
• Data streaming solutions
• Details on the Kafka community and resources for ongoing learning
• Key products in the Kafka ecosystem
Architects across industries are turning to Kafka for its unparalleled speed, reliability, and scalability. In Designing Kafka Systems, author Katya Gorshkova lays out how Kafka fits into complex system designs, expertly illustrating how you can use Kafka for effective logging, telemetry, microservices communication, and more in event driven enterprise applications.
About the book
