A microservices-based approach is universally recognized as the right way to develop modern applications. Technologies like Spring Boot and the Spring Framework are ideal choices for developing and deploying your microservices (regardless of your language of choice—Java or Kotlin), with Apache Kafka® as the microservices communication layer. This approach provides highly scalable and robust communication between services that allow you to unlock data in your existing monolithic and/or legacy systems via Kafka Connect.

In this hands-on workshop with a Halloween twist, you will:
-Develop a small, functioning, microservices-based web application using Kafka Streams with Java or Kotlin
-Use Spring Boot to handle tedious and not-so-exciting tasks (like application configuration or container images generation)
-Use Confluent Cloud, fully managed Apache Kafka as a service, to integrate the services
-Use Spring for Kafka as the API between the two

If you want to use Spring and Kafka together, apply the right patterns…

I've decided to do something I've never done before... an open call 🤯 I just informed my employer that I am quitting. It was a tough decision but I had a feeling that it would be better like that 😶 I don't have any offers nor even ideas, to be honest. I am just... open. 🧵
