Modernize Applications with Apache Kafka

Application modernization has become increasingly important as older systems struggle to keep up with today's requirements. When you migrate legacy monolithic applications to microservices, easier maintenance and optimized resource utilization generally follow. But new challenges arise around communication within services and between applications. You can overcome many of these issues with the help of modern messaging technologies such as Apache Kafka.In this report, Jennifer Vargas and Richard Stroop from Red Hat explain how IT leaders and enterprise architects can use Kafka for microservices communication and then off-load operational needs through the use of Kubernetes and managed services. You'll also explore application modernization techniques that don't require you to break down your monolithic application.This report helps you:Understand the importance of migrating your monolithic applications to microservicesExamine the various challenges you may face during the modernization processExplore application modernization techniques and learn the benefits of using Apache Kafka during the development processLearn how Apache Kafka can support business outcomesUnderstand how Kubernetes can help you overcome any difficulties you may encounter when using Kafka for application development
