Monthly Solace Developer Community Highlights

Hybrid Cloud Event Streaming Workshop

This month we announced our first public workshop “Hybrid Cloud Event Streaming” on April 18 at 12:00pm ET. This live workshop will walk developers through creating an event mesh that will stream events across cloud and on-premises environments using Solace PubSub+ and AWS.

Attendees will also explore the usage of hierarchical topics and wildcards which allow the event mesh to intelligently route events only where they need to go. Check out this community post for more details on how to register and join.

New Blog Posts by Community Writers

Since we announced the Solace Scholars Program, we have received many submissions and published some very good blog posts by our community writers, such as the one that shows how to implement EDA in a Go application using Solace PubSub+ and the one that illustrates with an e-payment example the flexibility of topic design and naming conventions with PubSub+.

This month, we have added two more blog posts by our community writers, including one by our youngest Scholar – a middle school student from Texas – who decided to use our technology to make sure his house plant wasn’t neglected: Monitoring a Plant Using PubSub+, Raspberry Pi and Flutter.

If you are also interested in writing for the community, check out the Solace Scholars Program and submit your suggested topics.
