Near Real-Time Analytics with Event Streaming, Live Tables, and Delta Sharing
Description
Microservices is an increasingly popular architecture much loved by application teams, for it allows services to be developed and scaled independently. Data teams, though, often need a centralized repository where all data from different services come together to join and aggregate. The data platform can serve as a single source of company facts, enable near real time analytics, and secure sharing of massive data sets across clouds. A viable microservices ingestion pattern is Change Data Capture, using AWS Database Migration Services or Debezium. CDC proves to be a scalable solution ideal for stable platforms, but it has several challenges for evolving services: Frequent schema changes, complex, unsupported DDL during migration, and automated deployments are but a few. An event streaming architecture can address these challenges. Confluent, for example, provides a schema registry service where all services can register their event schemas. Schema registration helps with verifying that the events are being published based on the agreed contracts between data producers and consumers. It also provides a separation between internal service logic and the data consumed downstream. The…
