Abstract: 

When choosing different architectures for your enterprise data environment, you always want to make sure how to manage choices in the CAP theorem. The CAP theorem states that you can not have consistency, availability, and partition-tolerance at the same time, but what if choosing for Kappa architecture makes it possible to have it all?

To make sure you make the right choice, you have to know what Kappa is, how it compares to Lambda, microservice and monolith architectures. After a quick refresher on architecture, we're going forward by showing a practical way on how to setup a Kappa architecture by using Kafka, the de facto standard for event storing and stream processing. But is Kafka the right choice? Lets find out by comparing live:

Setting up Kappa architecture with Kafka running in Kubernetes
Using it with commercial distributions of Kafka(Confluent and/or Axual)
Using an alternative kafka: Red panda
Using an alternative non-kafka: Redis(trust me, this will make sense)

And at the end of the demo we know: if Kafka is the best Kafka, what the right choice for your Kappa architecture is and if you actually can beat the CAP theorem with.
