Creating Events from Databases Using Change Data Capture: Gunnar Morling at MicroXchg Berlin
When you store data in a database, you often also want to put the same data in a cache and a search engine. The challenge is how to keep all data in sync without distributed transactions and dual writes. One way is to use a change data capture (CDC) tool that captures all changes made. In a presentation at MicroXchg Berlin, Gunnar Morling described Debezium, an implementation of CDC using Kafka.

Swim Open Sources Platform That Challenges Conventional Wisdom in Distributed Computing
If one reviews the talks at a modern conference, it'd be reasonable to assume that many of today's software systems are made up of stateless compute, distributed databases, and high-throughput message brokers. Swim recently open-sourced their platform that uses stateful "digital twins" to analyze streaming data in real time without depending on databases, message brokers, app servers, or storage.
