For event streaming application developers, it is important to continuously update the streaming pipeline based on the need for changes in the individual applications in the pipeline. It is also important to understand some of the common streaming topologies that streaming developers use to build an event streaming pipeline.

Meta runs different types of backend networks, topologies, and training jobs that have tight dependencies between software and hardware components. A small number of servers are taken out of production and maintained with all applicable upgrades. This transition has not been without its challenges.

At the core of each shared state microservice we built was a Kafka Streams instance with a rather simple processing topology. Setup was a breeze—after configuring all instances to use the same application ID and the same bootstrap servers, everything pretty much happened automatically. We used it with the WALL_CLOCK_TIME type.

Be it power supplies, servers, routers, load balancers, proxies, or any other physical and virtual network components, the horizontal scaling that redundancy provides is the ultimate safety net in the presence of failure or atypical traffic demands. Top talkers are often the cause of outages for application stacks.

With SD-WAN, organizations can deliver more responsive, more predictable applications at lower cost in less time than the managed MPLS services traditionally used by the enterprise. SD-WAN does this by separating applications from the underlying network services with a policy-based, virtual overlay. The world of SD-WANs is evolving.
