Modernizing Real-Time Observability for Event-Driven Hybrid IT Architectures

Overview:

Technology pundits and experts consider event-driven architectures (EDA), backed by streaming data services such as Kafka to be the state-of-the-art approach for real-time applications. So, once you decide to go out and get some flavor of Kafka, RabbitMQ, or Spark, how will you know how well real-time applications actually work to support customers atop the rest of your hybrid IT architecture, including messaging, event processing, and integration to external services and existing core systems?

• How the concepts of real-time data and event-based applications have evolved over the years.
• Besides adopting Kafka, what do you really need in place to do observability in a hybrid IT world?
• What can we learn from the use case examples of enterprises who have been evolving their own EDAs along with the technology?
• What is the future of event driven architectures, given advances in cloud native integration, site reliability practices, and AI?
