Innovative event-driven architecture for data management
Implemented a central events stream using Debezium and Confluent Kafka to capture changes in PostgreSQL and ingest real-time events from various systems. This event-driven architecture enhances scalability, streamlines data collection, and enables automated, responsive processes, empowering real-time data-driven decision-making for this application.

About The Client
The healthcare industry heavily relies on the effective management of appointments, staff, doctors, and patients in clinics.
Product Vision
Streamline data management and enable dynamic workflows with Render's central event stream, leveraging Debezium and Confluent Kafka to capture real-time events from various sources. Empower automated responses, enhance scalability, and facilitate real-time data-driven decision-making for simplified data collection and auditing without a traditional database.
Business Requirements
Real-time Event Ingestion
Enable the ingestion of events from various systems in real-time into the central event stream.
Change Data Capture with Debezium
Capture changes occurring in the PostgreSQL database to provide a comprehensive view of data modifications.
Scalable and Fault-Tolerant Event Streaming
Establish a robust event streaming infrastructure that is scalable and fault-tolerant.
Seamless Integration with Kafka Connect
Facilitate smooth integration between Debezium and Kafka to ensure efficient data movement.
Event Processing and Action Triggering
Enable real-time event processing to trigger immediate actions or initiate event-driven workflows.
Temporary Storage and Auditing
Provide temporary storage for events and support auditing requirements for retrospective analysis and compliance.
Dynamic Workflow Support
Enable dynamic workflows based on event patterns to support responsive and automated processes.
