Best for

  • Design webhook ingestion systems with retry mechanisms and dead letter queues
  • Implement exactly-once message processing with idempotent consumers for payment systems
  • Architect Kafka-based event streaming pipelines with schema evolution and consumer group management
  • Build event-driven microservices with circuit breakers and backpressure handling
  • Design real-time analytics pipelines processing millions of events per second

What you'll get

  • Complete event processing architecture with Kafka topics, consumer groups, schema registry configuration, and failure handling patterns
  • Webhook ingestion system design with exponential backoff retry logic, dead letter queue implementation, and monitoring dashboards
  • Event schema evolution strategy with backward compatibility rules, versioning guidelines, and migration procedures
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Basic message queue setup without reliability patterns
  • ×Traditional request-response API design
  • ×Simple CRUD application architecture
  • ×Batch processing systems without real-time requirements
Expects

Event volume requirements, delivery guarantees needed, existing system constraints, and failure tolerance requirements.

Returns

Detailed event processing architecture with component specifications, data flow diagrams, schema designs, and operational runbooks.
