Microservices and Event Sourcing with Kafka and Kubernetes
summary
Describes combining microservices with event sourcing using Apache Kafka and Kubernetes/OpenShift. Explains that Kafka stores events indefinitely and supports replay for rebuilding state or retraining models, recommends partitioning by account key to preserve ordering while enabling massive parallel consumers, and shows how OpenShift provides blue‑green deployments, autoscaling and self‑healing pods for production resilience; examples include banks, Liaison Technologies and American Express (no live demo).
