Why Kafka Became the Backbone of Modern Data Architecture: Lessons from Building Event-Driven Systems at Scale
When LinkedIn open-sourced Kafka in 2011, few predicted it would become the de facto standard for real-time data streaming. Fourteen years later, Kafka processes trillions of messages daily across organizations of every size, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Having architected event-driven systems for over two decades, I’ve watched Kafka evolve from an interesting alternative […]
