Add your first asynchronous API to your app in 30 minutes

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Claim: add an asynchronous API in 30 minutes using an event backbone. Demo builds a Kafka topic on Apache Kafka / IBM Event Streams, wires a GitHub webhook to post JSON commits to that topic in minutes, and shows a Postgres CDC connector (a few dozen lines of config) that creates per-table topics emitting C/D/U events consumed by a simple Node app that prints rows. Finally a two-node App Connect to Slack flow posts database-change alerts. Demos mostly work live though the Slack step shows occasional latency.
