#4 Kafka Live Stream | Creating Dead Letter Queues in Kafka with SQL Stream Processing

Getting value out of data means transformation in real-time, and coding your #Kafka Streams app is just the first step in a long journey. Then you need to package that app, deploy it, manage that connection to #apachekafka, set it up with monitoring and alerting, govern it and troubleshoot it if issues pop up. In this Kafka Live Stream, we show you a way to significantly simplify this route by demonstrating why and how you can create Dead Letter Queues in Kafka with Lenses Streaming SQL for stream processing.

Commands, Queries, and Events | Microservices 101

Messages between microservices come in three different flavors: Commands, Queries, and Events. Commands change the state, queries request the state, and events share the state. When designing microservice communication patterns, it is important to understand the role of these messages. Following a clear set of rules can help ensure consistency and clarity within your system of microservices.
