Event Streaming and the Future of Applications
summary
Argues that Apache Kafka is both messaging and storage, running across hundreds of machines and holding hundreds of terabytes, with an immutable audit trail that enables replayability of events to fix corrupt data. Describes a real New York Times pipeline using a single "monologue" topic (content since 1851) plus a denormalizer that rewinds and rebuilds views successfully. Shows stream processors joining order, payment and customer streams to emit emails and pairs those prepared streams with serverless functions for elastic, pay‑per‑use execution.
