Make your organization more agile by using IBM Event Streams !
Our company is currently in the process of implementing a messaging system - we develop event driven Microservices and needed an event streaming system based on Kafka which can address our needs. I reviewed IBM Event Streams and it is a great option. Event streams allows us to permanently store changes to domain objects in the form of events - the changes are then made available to various other services where they are materialized into certain solutions like Analytics, AI etc.
- IBM Event Streams offers a Lite tier which makes it incredible easy to get started.
- IBM Event Streams allows you to permanents persist / log events.
- Other back-end services can subscribe to events the want to consume.
- It will be great if the KSQL setup or some other type of stream manipulation technology comes bundled with IBM Event Streams.
- Currently we service the African region as well and we would love a region in South Africa.
- IBM Event Stream is surprisingly easy to get started with by providing a free Lite tier. This makes it easy to adopt.
- At this point we are in the development phase so it's too early to speculate on long term costs but IBM Event Streams certainly has an excellent offering with great cost analysis tools which we will make use of as things progress.
We evaluated Confluent Cloud, Amazon MSK and self managed Kafka. Overall IBM Event Streams has the best documentation and the team backing it up has deep technical knowledge and advice.
