Getting Started with Streaming Data for Event-Driven Applications and Analytics

Handling streaming data isn’t an easy task. However, it is required for building microservices using techniques such as event sourcing, CQRS or choreography.

I will start with the technical underpinnings first and explain why the cloud is the perfect place to deal with streaming data. Then I will show you the various cloud services that accomplish this task. One of them is a managed version of Apache Kafka which is one the most popular open-source projects for building messaging and streaming applications.
