I wrote a short book on Designing Event Driven Systems which covers Kafka, Streaming, Event Sourcing and a few related topics. If you'd like a free copy you can find one here: https://t.co/0pdCqY3YeA
🔥 It's finally here! I'm excited to announce that @ShadowTrafficIO is now available. Head to the home page to get started for free.
For my entire career, I've been baffled by how long it takes to build demos, load tests, and proof-of-concept projects. Everyone's built little internal data generator tools, but none of them are good.
ShadowTraffic is a tasteful, complete product that rapidly simulates production traffic to your backend—@apachekafka, @PostgreSQL, and webhooks.
Help me get the word out:
👨💻 Hacker News: I'm on the /newest page
🛠️ Product Hunt: I'm listed under Developer Tools

ShadowTraffic was built completely in public in just 90 days, 100% bootstrapped on my own dime.
Thank you *so* much for following along guys!
Today I'm launching a new podcast looking at the future of software by talking directly to the devs who are trying to get us there.
We kick off with London's hippest new language designer, Louis Pilfold, the creator of Gleam.

All of the AI improvements are really exciting, but some of the demos I see out there are overblown.
Basic litmus test: does it suggest that it'll replace critical thinking? If yes, dead on arrival. Save your attention.
❓What happened to big data?
@AdamBellemare answers what big data is, its evolution, and how it influenced the shift to modern cloud services and data streaming at scale. Learn more in this #OCTOlog: https://t.co/UfonoVP0LD

@xcbsmith@garyolliffe It most certainly does, but assuming you can handle that, events are often a better strategy than moving functionality to synchronous services as it removes runtime complexity. As a simple example, if the shipping service is down, you don't want the orders service to block.

I was looking back at this blog series by @miguno. It remains the best short-form guide to Kafka and data streaming on the internet today. At least in my opinion.
