Explore DDD 2017 – Denver, Sept. 21-22
Jeroen explains how his team was migrating one of the top 3 consumer packaged goods companies from a batch-oriented systems architecture to a streaming platform.
He discussed the business benefits of streaming in supply chain planning, and how concepts from domain-driven design enable a strangler approach to developing the new platform in parallel to existing solutions.
He also talks about how Kafka and how its four main APIs play a central role in this architecture, what his team learned from integrating with legacy systems using CDC (Change Data Capture), and finally a key insight they gained during the project namely that streams love enterprise integration patterns.
