It’s a problem endemic to the tech world that we are always focused on what’s coming next, that we often forget to look at where we’ve been. Chris Riccomini, who was there at LinkedIn when Apache Kafka® was born, tells us how Kafka and the stream processing framework Samza came about, and also what he’s doing these days at WePay—building systems that use Kafka as a primary datastore.
