A summary of IBM Event Automation in under 200 words.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week was the first release of IBM Event Automation<\/a>. I’ve been asked what it’s all about, so I thought it’d be helpful to have a brief summary to point people at.<\/p>\n

IBM Event Automation is a collection of three components, designed to help companies be productive in creating event-driven solutions.<\/p>\n

The three components are:<\/p>\n

\n

Event Processing<\/h2>\n

Low-code authoring tool for building stream processing flows.<\/p>\n

Create stateful event processing operations that aggregate events within a time window, and correlate events between multiple streams of events.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on<\/strong> Apache Flink<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For more info<\/strong> see our guided tutorials<\/a> for creating your first flows.<\/p>\n

\n

Event Endpoint Management<\/h2>\n

Event management tool for creating a self-service catalog of event sources for users to securely browse and utilize.<\/p>\n

Promote the sharing and reuse of event sources while maintaining control and governance, and bring the discipline of API management to the world of event streaming.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on<\/strong> an API portal of Kafka topics described as AsyncAPI documents<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

For more info<\/strong> see my blog post on the idea of event endpoint management<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Event Streams<\/h2>\n

Manage your Apache Kafka deployments, balance your event workloads, browse messages, and monitor key metrics in a simple user experience.<\/p>\n

This is Apache Kafka, plus supporting tooling and other components needed when running Kafka in production, such as a schema registry for your Avro schemas.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Based on<\/strong> Apache Kafka and Apicurio<\/p>\n
