The spectrum of messaging styles has widened, with application requirements diverging. Many applications require precise delivery and assurances, while others take on that responsibility themselves and instead focus on data retention and replay. This breadth of approaches has led to a need for multiple related technologies to satisfy them, with two best of breed technologies being IBM MQ and Apache Kafka. The first focuses on message queues, and the second on event streaming. However, this is not always a hard divide, and an application solution will often require both. This session will first look at the unique advantages of each technology and then explain how they can work together to solve the most challenging business requirements.
There is currently no attachment for IBM MQ and Kafka - What's the difference and how can they be used together?
