The Database Unbundled - Commit Logs in an Age of Microservices

Explore the concept of unbundling traditional centralized databases in microservice architectures through this 47-minute conference talk. Delve into the power of distributed commit logs as the core of modern information architecture. Learn how storing events in a durable, immutable log, such as Apache Kafka, enables each microservice to create tailored data views. Discover the advantages of event-based integration over RPC and database-based service integration, and understand how this approach leverages stream processing systems to build adaptable, real-time responsive systems that meet evolving enterprise needs.
