Netflix’s CQRS Remix
Netflix gave Tudum a major makeover by ditching Kafka and Cassandra in favor of an in-memory event solution powered by RAW Hollow. The swap not only cuts down operational overhead but also sets the record straight on what CQRS actually is (and isn’t)—splitting write and read models without a mandatory event bus.
They walk you through the old versus new blueprints, bust classic CQRS myths (“you need Kafka!”), and spell out why this pivot made sense for scale and simplicity. Bonus: they share lessons you can snag for your own systems and point to handy tools like Kurrent (formerly EventStoreDB) if you want to try something similar.
