Batch Jobs Are Bottlenecks
Nightly ETL creates stale dashboards and painful reconciliations. Event-driven integration moves data as business events occur — order placed, invoice paid, ticket closed.
Anti-Corruption Layers
Do not leak legacy schemas into your new services. Translate events at the edge so modern apps speak a clean domain language.
Idempotency and Replay
Assume duplicates. Design consumers to be idempotent and keep dead-letter queues for poison messages. Replayability is your disaster recovery plan.
Start Small
Pick one high-value flow — inventory sync or customer upsert — prove reliability, then expand. Big-bang integrations rarely survive contact with production.
