Migrating from Kafka to RabbitMQ at SimpleBet: Why and How | David Lucia - VP, Engineering @ SimpleBet. ABSTRACT At Simplebet, we are striving to make every moment of every sporting event a betting opportunity. In doing so, we initially chose Kafka to deliver market updates. The result was a setup which was difficult and expensive to maintain, and non-trivial for our customers to integrate with. After researching other delivery mechanisms, we migrated to RabbitMQ, as it provided us with a low-cost, low-latency alternative that satisfied our business needs. Best of all, it provided a familiar, standards-based means of integration for our customers with superior flexibility to what Kafka offers. In this talk, we will cover the technical and business reasons for why RabbitMQ has proven itself to be a great platform for building a B2B SaaS product, how it compares to other tools on the market, and where it excels in flexibility for our customers. • Timecodes 00:00 - 04:00 - Introduction 04:01 - 04:51 - The first steps at Simplebet and the problem 04:52 - 05:42 - Serving Odds 05:43 - 06:24 - Market Publishing Requirements 06:25 - 15:22 - Kafka 15:23 - 16:28 - Re-evaluating our Integration 16:29 - 26:55 - RabbitMQ enters the picture 26:56 - 35:00 - QnA • See & download slides: https://davydog187.github.io/migrating_from_kafka/ • Follow us on social: Twitter: https://twitter.com/rabbitmqsummit?lang=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/27159258 • Looking for a unique learning experience?
