Tired of batch delays killing insight? Stakeholders demanding real-time dashboards now? Legacy queues buckle under peak loads? Teams debate Kafka yet fear missteps? Design meetings sprawl without clear direction? Own the architecture, deliver streaming confidence.

End-to-end project roadmap: Move smoothly from requirements to rollout without costly rework.

Patterns and anti-patterns: Spot risks early and protect uptime, data, and reputation.

Ecosystem deep dive: Leverage Connect, Streams, and Schema Registry for faster feature delivery.

Organizational guidance: Align teams, budgets, and governance so tech choices actually ship.

Testing strategies: Validate throughput and resilience before production headlines your failures.

Designing Kafka Systems: Event-Driven Architecture, Logs, Microservices, Real-Time Event Processing by seasoned FinTech architect Katya Gorshkova translates Apache Kafka theory into battle-tested enterprise practice. In this book, she unites architectural rigor with on-the-ground experience to guide developers and solution architects through every phase of an event-driven initiative.

The book pairs concise explanations of Kafka internals with decision matrices, sample topologies, and war-story sidebars. Readers learn how to size clusters, secure data flow, integrate microservices, and evolve schemas while keeping stakeholders aligned.

Finish each chapter ready to draft diagrams, defend trade-offs, and implement resilient real-time pipelines your organization can trust. The result is fewer surprises, smoother launches, and systems that scale with business demand.

Ideal for working and aspiring enterprise or solutions architects who need a clear, actionable Kafka blueprint.

Katya Gorshkova is a FinTech software engineer and solution architect known for turning complex streaming concepts into production systems. With years designing high-throughput, low-latency platforms, Katya brings pragmatic clarity to every page. She distills hands-on Kafka expertise into step-by-step guidance that empowers architects to deliver reliable real-time applications.
