Future Proofing Digital Relevance with a Rapidly Evolving Messaging Architecture

Apache Kafka and IBM Events Streamsand Smart Buildings all start with connectivity…

Access Code: 924 703 522

Apache Kafka (open source) is the latest and one of the hottest forms of application integration. Kafka is focused on helping digital businesses make use of the massive volume of "events" that are taking place in their business all the time and respond to them intelligently as they’re happening.

Kafka requires a wholesale shift in thinking - moving from a static data-centric model (data held in a DB and queried) to an Event-centric model where you tap into/take advantage of data as it’s in flight.

Kafka is fast becoming the de facto standard for event-driven applications. IBM's offering of Apache Kafka is called IBM Event Streams.

While some clients think they can use Kafka to replace traditional messaging (think IBM MQ) - that is not true. Kafka and MQ are complimentary.

As such, the large and loyal MQ customer base is a great place to look for Event Streams opportunities.

Join us for this webinar and we'll help you sort it all out!
