Understanding the Challenges of Implementing New Technologies
The chapter discusses the challenges of implementing new technologies without understanding their history. The speakers mention their experiences with GraphQL and Kafka, highlighting the importance of understanding their origins and potential use cases. They also explore the benefits and limitations of Kafka's append-only log, retention of messages, and the need for proactive scaling. The conversation concludes with a discussion on developing new technologies to address the limitations of Kafka and the role of conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs) in eventually consistent systems.
