Other frameworks: Apache Flink is too heavy and it requires a cluster

Apache Flink: let's process 100MB/s of data in Kafka with only 100 MB of memory heap and only one single JVM instance 😎

Slightly different from my usual posts, but I wrote a thing!
This time, on how to transform Slack from a distraction into a productivity powerhouse for engineering teams with proven strategies for channel organisation, automation, and data-driven insights -

A 5-10% performance improvement with every new Java stable release is a dopamine hit... for CFOs. If you work with the JVM ecosystem, you should upgrade often, it's easy money
One thing I’d like to see less of is people pointlessly upgrading all their dependencies just to get a dopamine hit.

Upgrading libraries and fixing compatibility issues feels like an accomplishment but is completely pointless busywork.

BigTech is moving to object storage too, but not cuz it's cheaper. The idea is you no longer need every system to be distributed and durable. Everything can be stateless and simple, cuz your storage is distributed and durable.
