Anisse's personal blog

Hey ! My name is Anisse Tiouajni.

I am passionate about emerging technologies. I studied networks and telecommunications but I quickly switched to the world of software.

I have skills in several areas such as the Kubernetes/OpenShift container orchestration system, data integration tools (batch & realtime processing), technologies around Big Data and the development of cloud native applications.

I also love doing DIY and car mechanics.

It's been a long time since I wanted to share my knowledge on various and varied subjects around my passions. I think the personal blog format is a great way to share this experience with you.

Welcome and happy reading,

And as we all know, each new technology introduces challenges. The idea of this post is not to list the advantages and disadvantages of Kafka but rather to present the Strimzi project and how it responds to certain challenges that can be encountered.
