Hi all,

Nice to see a whole community of developers discussing this. I developed a Market Data distribution system in Kafka (with both .NET and Java Producers and Consumers). I would really appreciate finding others to have a discussion about architectural decisions I made building the system, some of which are properly unorthodox – and perhaps could be improved with a more complete knowledge of Kafka.

I would appreciate any pointers to the right forum, or comments from others who are interested to discuss design details.

Welcome! I’d love to hear more about the system you developed. Feel free to post in #architecture-and-design to get the conversation started.
