Microservice Messaging: The Event That Changed Everything

In event driven microservice architectures, the message usually only carries meaning for the event producer and end consumer(s). Any generic middleware, broker, gateway, or cache is left unable to act on the content because they don’t understand it.

What a waste of opportunity.

Real-Time Email Tracking With Go, Redis, and Lua

Real-time data provides a goldmine of information.

At Pepipost, we handle around 20k – 50k email events/second. That’s huge! Processing all these events every single second in real-time. We use the magical combination of Redis and PERL to deal with these complex data structures. And it seemed to work just fine, because of the high text processing efficiency, powerful set of regular expressions, fast development, and easy-to-learn functionality.
