For their inaugural episode, Anna McDonald (the Duchess) and Matthias J. Sax (the Doctor) from Confluent, along with their extinct friend, Phil, wax rhapsodic about all things eventing: you’ll learn why events are a mindset, why the Duchess thinks you’ll find event immutability relaxing, and why your event streams might need some windows.
To learn more about fundamentals across the Apache Kafka and Flink ecosystems, you can have a look at the courses here: https://cnfl.io/44IYQ1J
The Duchess & The Doctor Show features a question-driven format that delivers substantial, yet easily comprehensible answers to user-submitted questions on all things events and eventing, including Apache Kafka, its ecosystem, and beyond!
