Things I have come to know about distributed systems:
The S3 API (object storage) is the accepted storage API, but you do not need AWS (but they are very good at this).
The Kafka API is the accepted stream/ buffer/ queue API, but you do not need Confluent.
SQL is the query language, but you do not need a relational database.
- jensneuse 2y agoI'd argue that a lot of people are moving from Kafka to NATS. NATS and Kafka serve different purposes and for many use cases related to APIs, NATS has a lot more to offer, like like wildcard topic topologies.
- buro9 2y agoit's the Kafka API, not Kafka itself, that I see as having become the standard.
- xyzzy_plugh 2y agoWhich is honestly a shame. It's an awful API.
