Have you ever been wondering how you can transfer ships and cats from one software system to another? If this is the case, then this session is the right choice for you!

The outbox pattern is a handy way of implementing data transfer between multiple software systems. Together with Kafka and Debezium this triple builds up a powerful toolkit to ...

* sequentially split software systems into multiple separated services - aka execute the Strangler Fig pattern

* publish events that might be interesting for all other components

* have stable and fail-safe communication

In this session I will show you the basics on how Debezium works. With that knowledge I will then demonstrate how you can introduce the outbox pattern to an existing application.

This talk will demonstrate how to implement the Outbox Pattern using Kotlin, Kafka and Debezium.
Additionally we will disucss cases where the Outbox Pattern might be of good help.
