Communicate Between Microservices with Apache Kafka
One of the traditional approaches for communicating between microservices is through their REST APIs. However, as your system evolves and the number of microservices grows, communication becomes more complex, and the architecture might start resembling our old friend the spaghetti anti-pattern, with services depending on each other or tightly coupled, slowing down development teams. This model can exhibit low latency but only works if services are made highly available. To overcome this design disadvantage, new...
Secure Kafka Streams with Quarkus and Java
In this tutorial, you’re going to use Apache Kafka and Quarkus to create a secure, scalable web application. The application will use Kafka Streams and a small Kafka cluster to consume data from a server and push it to a client application as a real-time stream. You will secure the entire application. You will secure the Kafka cluster with SSL and SASL/JAAS password protection. Finally, you’ll secure the Quarkus client application using OAuth 2.0 &...

Kafka with Java: Build a Secure, Scalable Messaging App
Today’s users expect your app to be accessible from their computer, mobile phone, tablet, or any other device! This transition to Software as a Service (SaaS) as the norm requires developers to effectively integrate with robust tools that scale to handle thousands (or even millions) of requests every second. Apache Kafka is one of the most effective tools for handling those high throughput environments. In this tutorial, you’ll learn the basic concepts behind Apache Kafka...
