Software development today is embracing events and streaming data, which
optimizes not only how technology interacts but also how businesses
integrate with one another to meet customer needs. This phenomenon,
called flow, consists of patterns and standards that determine which
activity and related data is communicated between parties over the
internet.
This book explores critical implications of that evolution: What happens
when events and data streams help you discover new activity sources to
enhance existing businesses or drive new markets? What technologies and
architectural patterns can position your company for opportunities
enabled by flow? James Urquhart, global field CTO at VMware, guides
enterprise architects, software developers, and product managers through
the process.
