About this video
What You'll Learn
- When Wix favors events over RPC to decouple services and tolerate failures
- How protobuf definitions, linters, and schema registries keep event changes compatible
- How Kafka producer, consumer, and admin proxies reduce broker load and bills
Natan Silnitsky shares how Wix operates 2,500+ microservices and 70 billion Kafka events per day. We cover when to choose event-driven over RPC, schema evolution with Confluent Schema Registry and protobuf, Kafka cost optimisation, polyglot services, and ZIO on the JVM.
