By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

The article uses Apache Kafka as an example, highlighting the years of engineering effort and system rewrites required to achieve exactly-once processing. It emphasizes that such end-to-end guarantees necessitate a holistic understanding of the entire system and a designated owner responsible for its overall consistency, rather than relying solely on code within isolated components.
