Building Event-Driven Microservices - Chapter 6 - Deterministic Stream Processing

Building Event-Driven Microservices - Chapter 6 - Deterministic Stream Processing

Translations: RU
Deterministic Stream Processing is a foundation for building scalable event-driven systems. The lack of determinism can be very painful for the business (imagine lost financial transactions, missed alerts, wrong data aggregation). There are certain tips and tricks on how to implement determinism. Keywords are: Timestamps Event Scheduling Watermarks Stream Time Also you should understand the nature of Out-of-Order and Late-Arriving Events. And strategies for handling them. Also need to support reprocessing.

Overviewing basics of event processing in Event-Driven Architectures: Typical structure of microservice Typical types of event transformations, 2 branching scenarios, merging streams Repartitioning events and when it can be useful Copartitioning events and when it is needed Assigning Partitions to a Consumer Instance. Three strategies to do this. Recovering from stateless processing instance failures. These topics are disclosed in the Chapter 5 of the book we are currently studying:

Data Liberation is the process of moving from monolith towards microservices by decoupling systems in terms of data dependencies. There are three patterns for Data Liberation: Query-based Log-based Table-base Each pattern has its own pros and cons, as well as other important considerations. Data definition changes (data structure migrations) must also be supported by the chosen Data Liberation approach. There are different Liberation frameworks/tools that simplify the process of Data Liberation.

The Event-Driven model heavily relies on the QUALITY of events. Good quality events are: explicitly defined via contracts have comments support evolution with backward and forward compatibility support code generation breaking changes are well thought Good events are implemented using the right tools: use Avro/Thrift/Protobuf formats and never use JSON! use the right event broker (such as Pulsar) Good events are designed to: contain all the info needed by consumers use separate streams for each event type use the right data types for their fields (don’t use string for numbers, use enums, etc.

I accidentally met with the founders of EMPERA blockchain. As you may know, despite the fact that I believe in the blockchain future, I am a bit skeptical about new projects and ideas in this field as there are many pure scams and unprofessional enthusiasts. However, after reading all the papers and after a deep talk with the founders I am now very excited about this particular project. And I want to share with you my insights (as well as a few skeptical unclarities to be 100% honest).

There are a number of businesses and business tasks when it is necessary to visually design, change and control the execution of business processes.

Large companies like SAP, IBM, Oracle play in this market and offer their heavy and expensive solutions.

But there is also a lighter and cheaper solution in this field.
