Tech Book PodcastDesigning Event-Driven SystemsThis podcast explores a new approach to building business systems using event-driven architecture and stream processing tools like Kafka. Instead of relying on traditional databases, streaming systems treat data as an evolving stream of events, allowing organizations to build loosely coupled, highly scalable, and resilient applications.
Each episode will examine key concepts and patterns from the book "Designing Event-Driven Systems" by Ben Stopford, covering topics such as:
The limitations of traditional service-oriented architectures and the challenges of sharing data between services.
The benefits of event-driven systems for building loosely coupled, scalable, and resilient applications.

Whispers of the SoulThe Regeneration of BelongingWe are joined by Ben Stopford who explains the importance of building a connection with your garden, for example growing food in your garden, creating a space to sit in peace and connect to nature. Ben talks about how the average person on earth is not flourishing. One of his approaches to help is to become more actively engaged in bioregionalism - reducing your focus down to a geographical region called a bioregion. The idea is you become familiar with what is around you within a 10 mile radius, to help break down the feeling of ‘overwhelm’ or ‘where...2023-01-246h 45

Ben StopfordWith experience in data infrastructure and distributed data technologies, author of the book “Designing Event-Driven Systems” Ben Stopford (Lead Technologist, Office of the CTO, Confluent) explains the data mesh paradigm, differences between traditional data warehouses and microservices, as well as how you can get started with data mesh. Unlike standard data architecture, data mesh is about moving data away from a monolithic data warehouse into distributed data systems. Doing so will allow data to be available as a product—this is also one of the four principles of data mesh: Data ownership by domainData as a productDa...2022-03-1044 min

While the main focus of this book is the building of event-driven systems of dif‐ ferent sizes, there is a deeper focus on software that spans many teams.
This is the realm of service-oriented architectures: an idea that arose around the start of the century, where a company reconfigures itself around shared services that do commonly useful things.

Streaming Audio: Apache Kafka® & Real-Time DataBen Stopford on Microservices and Event StreamingMicroservices are pretty ubiquitous these days. Really “SOA done right,” they reimagine the services pattern in the context of the world we live in today, nearly two decades since the first big service-oriented systems hit production. But what have we learned in this time? There are plenty of war stories. System designers have explored different architectural patterns—REST, events and databases of all types. In this podcast, Tim Berglund and Ben Stopford explore the event-driven paradigm and how it relates to the microservice architectures we build today. Ben dives deep into coupling, evolution and challenges of our increas...2019-04-0858 min
