A while back, Sam Newman wrote a short but sweet blog post about breaking up monolithic systems into more manageable pieces (using Apache Kafka, of course 
) so that you can make your data work for you!
If you, like me, want to dive a little deeper into this content, Iād totally recommend the following:
- Samās Kafka Summit 2020 Keynote on the Tyranny of Data
- Either of Samās books on the subject ā āMonolith to Microservicesā and āBuilding Microservicesā (Now in its second edition!!!)
- This awesome Streaming Audio podcast with Sam and Tim Berglund where they discuss the āMonolith to Microservicesā book.
This is great stuff, and I hope to hear what all of yāall think!
