Foundations of Real-Time Data Products
Building reliable real-time data products requires an event-driven stack:
- Event Brokers – Apache Kafka, Amazon MSK, Confluent, or other Kafka variants.
- API Management - Zilla Platform enables event-driven API design, publishing, and consumption.
- Gateways & Proxies - Zilla Plus provides enterprise-grade protocol translation at the edge.
- Multi Protocols – HTTP, SSE, gRPC, MQTT and many more.
- API Specifications – Standards like OpenAPI and AsyncAPI define, design, and document APIs.+
