A seven-year Michelin experience report about adopting event-driven architectures using Apache Kafka as the event bus. It covers installing and operating initial Kafka clusters, running distributed architectures, migrating to a managed cloud service, designing event-based functional architectures, and using libraries like Kafka Streams. The talk also shares pitfalls, Kafka Streams best practices and open-source contributions, cloud migration strategies, and approaches to real-time streaming analytics and democratizing streaming app development.
