Against the Grain by Saša Jurić | Code BEAM Europe 2023

✨This talk was recorded at Code BEAM Europe 2023. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check codebeameurope... ✨
Abstract:
This talk tells the story of developing a bespoke Kafka client. None of the existing libraries in the BEAM ecosystem fulfilled the needs of the team, and it was estimated that contributing new changes to those projects would be very difficult. At the same time, writing and maintaining a client from scratch would require a lot of time, much more than the team could afford.
So what can we do in such situation? Join me and find out how by making some atypical choices we got ourselves out of a tricky situation.

Chain of wrappers, so true and painful 😅
Great job!

[@GQLewis]

I like this guy's thinking. "We can ask Skynet". LOL

[@tevoj]

Amazing talk. But yeahhh you know, scares me a lil bit having to rub a jvm next to a beam :/.

[@ernesto8738]

this is where all that k8s shit becomes a necessity, either that or have dedicated instances for the different runtimes (not hugely difficult either tbh)

Headache! Why not skip Kafka all together?
