Apache-Kafka ® -based applications stand out for their ability to decouple producers and consumers using an event log as an intermediate layer. One result of this is that producers and consumers don’t know about each other, as there is no direct communication between them. This enables choreographed service collaborations, where many components can subscribe to events stored in the event log and react to them asynchronously.

Introducing Rust in an Enterprise Environment Discovery Sometime in 2013, on the internet I stumbled over a new programming language called Rust. Taking a look at the language, I was impressed by its high level features. At that time I was a backend Scala developer with a.Net background. When examining Rust, I found most of the features I used every day like Pattern Matching, the “New Type Pattern” and a “Scala like” Iterator API.

Imagine a fire hose that spews out trillions of gallons of water every day, and part of your job is to withstand every drop coming out of it. This is what it is like to visualize the message throughput of Apache Kafka ®. At Confluent, we want to help developers understand how to think about event streaming and the opportunities it can create. Educating people on what an event stream looks like is a daunting task.

You have complex, semi-structured data—nested JSON or XML, for instance, containing mixed types, sparse fields, and null values. It's messy, you don't understand how it's structured, and new fields appear every so often. The application you're implementing needs to analyze this data, combining it with other datasets, to return live metrics and recommended actions.
