Data Stream Using Apache Kafka and Camel Application
Wed, 29 Mar 2023

Apache Kafka is an event streaming platform that was developed by LinkedIn and later made open-source under the Apache Software Foundation. Its primary function is to handle high-volume real-time data streams and provide a scalable and fault-tolerant architecture for creating data pipelines, streaming applications, and microservices.

Kafka employs a publish-subscribe messaging model, in which data is sorted into topics, and publishers send messages to those topics. Subscribers can then receive those messages in real time. The platform offers a scalable and fault-tolerant architecture by spreading data across multiple nodes and replicating data across multiple brokers. This guarantees that data is consistently available, even if a node fails.

4 Best dApp Frameworks for First-Time Ethereum Developers
Sat, 25 Mar 2023

Ethereum has experienced dazzling growth in recent years. According to YCharts, the programmable blockchain now has approximately 220 million unique addresses. Linked to the increase in users is an explosion in the number of dApps. Global companies and startups across finance, sales, HR, accounting, supply chain, and manufacturing are using dApps to streamline processes and onboard new customers. Multiple frameworks exist that simplify the dApp development process for Web2 developers, who want to participate in Web3. This post examines four of the most popular. But first, what is a dApp?

What Is dApp?

A dApp, or decentralized application, is serverless software that runs on a decentralized network and uses a programmable blockchain for security, transparency, and immutability. A dApp combines smart contracts with a frontend user interface (HTML5, React, Angular). DApps can be used in a variety of industries and services, from social media to supply-chain management, payment tracking, complaint resolution, and all manner of accounting and (decentralized) financial services.
