Debezium is developed base on Kafka Connect framework and we need Apache Kafka cluster to store the captured events data from source databases. Sometime we do not require the level of tolerance and reliability provided by Apache Kafka cluster, but you still need Change Data Capture (CDC). This is where Debezium Engine come into the picture.
Let’s go through in detail how can we use the Kogito services to help us to modernise the payment platform by following the event-driven architecture approach. Kogito is the right fit in the scenarios where you need to implement decision services and business automation for an event driven architecture, with the fact that it is purposely built for events and cloud-native use cases.
Typical microservices outbox pattern implementation requires developers to manually create the outbox event table and write the codes to send the data from the outbox table to the respective messaging platform. Debezium Outbox Event Router together with Outbox Quarkus Extension take cares of this and enforce a standard approach to do this with declarative implementation. This allows the developers to focus on business logic implementation and achieve faster application delivery.
When come to performance load testing tool, people usually think of Apache JMeter; open source, widely supported and free. JMeter with total control, flexibility and user friendliness make the perfect choice for load testing. This should be the same for load testing Apache Kafka on container platform such as OpenShift Container Platform. Let’s look at how we can use JMeter to perform Kafka load testing on OpenShift.
Effective API design and mocking can be major contributor to the success of API implementation in terms of meeting the requirements, time and cost saving. Apicurio Studio and Microcks are among those open source tools that proving the promising features and usability. Let’s look at how can these tools be seamlessly work together to provide a collaboration platform for API design and API mocking.
