Event Gateway topologies for IBM Event Endpoint Management

Sunday, June 30th, 2024

In this post, I share a few examples for how to run Event Gateways for Event Endpoint Management.

When we talk about Event Endpoint Management, we often draw logical diagrams like this, with Kafka client applications able to produce and consume events to back-end Kafka clusters via an Event Gateway.

When it comes to start planning a deployment, we need to make decisions about the best way to create that logical Event Gateway layer. This typically includes running multiple gateways, but there are many different ways to do this, depending on your requirements for scaling and availability.

For this post, I want to show two approaches for running two Event Gateways, as a way of illustrating the kind of topologies that are possible.

Unleash real-time responsiveness by enriching streams of events

Wednesday, June 19th, 2024

In this demo, I give examples of different ways to enrich a stream of events – and the types of event processing that this can enable.

I presented this in a webinar with Matt Sunley (replay recording available) yesterday. Matt started with some context, explaining how enriching events with data from external sources can enable event processing solutions that aren’t otherwise possible.

And then I ran through a demo, creating an event processing flow that included four types of enrichment.
