If an Event is Published to a Topic and No One is Around to Consume it, Does it Make a Sound? (Bernd Ruecker, Camunda) Kafka Summit 2020
0 likes1,326 views
The document discusses the intersection of functional programming, event streams, and stateful processing in modern software systems, highlighting the importance of translating streams into actions. It emphasizes the challenges of managing state within streaming architectures and the integration of workflows with event-driven systems. The author advocates for a balance between declarative and imperative thinking when implementing these technologies.
![SELECT name
FROM people
WHERE city = `Berlin´
reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("people.txt"));
while ((row = reader.readLine()) != null) {
String[] data = row.split(",");
if ("Berlin".equals(data[3])) { // city
System.out.println(data[1]); // name
}
}
reader.close();

![Functional programming, reactive & streaming = the greatest thing since sliced bread!
… the term Event Stream becomes widely
adopted and promotes a new mental model
of how the systems are implemented.
… the main abstraction in use is a
composition of [stateless] functions
performing transformation on immutable
events. The output of an overall system can
be modeled as the application of those
composed functions on the input stream.

- 42. Summary • Streams need to lead to actions outside the control of the streams architecture (otherwise nothing has really happened) • Where to handle state is a difficult question • Streams vs. Workflow might be about declarative vs. imperative thinking (what does your team understand?) • But streams and workflows also go hand in hand. Getting from stream to workflow involves a translation component @berndruecker
