Using KafkaStreams API to deal with challenges of developing distributed applications

Whether we talk about microservices architecture or just horizontally scalable monolith applications, we are in "distributed computing" zone and we are facing many challenges nonexistent with single instance applications.In this presentation we are going to describe how we deal with few of them, more speciffficaly : - efficient gathering and aggregating data comming from input points on different application nodes - distributing connections to external system across cluster nodes in robust and resilient way (edited)
