Businesses in every industry are successfully using event streaming, within their corporate networks, to build real-time architectures. However, real-time data management and delivery for web, mobile, and IoT applications introduces a unique set of development challenges that must be understood and effectively addressed, in order to reliably deliver real-time data and easily scale. When exposing event streams to hundreds of thousands (or millions) of consumers, over the Internet, the assumptions made for traditional APIs no longer hold true. Developing Real-Time APIs means rethinking latency, scalability, security and publication from the ground up. This talk will discuss the hard lessons learned while helping companies successfully deploy real-time APIs across the Internet, including:

• The realities of the Internet, and how to address the challenges at the transport, protocol, and application layers
• What caching looks like in a push-oriented world, and how it drives significant efficiencies
• How your data model impacts security and latency over the edge
• Why basic Pub/Sub is not sufficient for today’s event-driven applications
