Streaming Data Integration – Where Development Meets Deployment ft. James Urquhart

Applications, development, deployment, and theory are all key pieces behind customer experience, event streaming, and improving systems and integration. James Urquhart (Global Field CTO, VMware) is writing a book combining Wardley Mapping and Promise Theory to evaluate the future of event streaming and how it will become a more economic choice for users. James argues that reducing the cost of integration does not deter people from buying but instead encourages creativity to find more uses for integration. He stresses the importance of user experience and how knowing what users are going through helps mend products and workflows, which improves systems that bring economic value. The two then go into explanations around the Promise Theory, Jevons Paradox, and Geoffrey Moore's Core vs. Context Theory. EPISODE LINKSPromise Theory: Principles and ApplicationsJoin the Confluent Community SlackLearn about Apache Kafka® at Confluent DeveloperSEASON 2 Hosted by Tim Berglund, Adi Polak and Viktor Gamov Produced and Edited by Noelle Gallagher, Peter Furia and Nurie Mohamed Music by Coastal Kites Artwork by Phil Vo  🎧 Subscribe to Confluent Developer wherever you listen to podcasts. ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube, and hit the 🔔 to catch new episodes.👍 If you enjoyed this, please leave us a rating. 🎧 Confluent also has a podcast for tech leaders: "Life Is But A Stream" hosted by our friend, Joseph Morais.
