Acertus Real Time Order Notifications

What this post added

This post details ACERTUS's implementation of real-time order notifications by migrating from siloed, batch-processed data systems to a microservices architecture using Confluent's event streaming platform. It highlights the technical challenges of integrating multiple databases (Postgres, MySQL, SQL Server) and the adoption of Confluent's CDC connectors, ksqlDB for stream processing and microservice development, and Stream Governance features (Schema Registry, Stream Lineage). The post emphasizes Confluent's advantages over alternatives like Kinesis and MSK, particularly its infinite storage, managed connectors, and ksqlDB capabilities, enabling ACERTUS to provide instant customer updates and improve operational efficiency.
