Async-ronizing Success at Wix: Patterns for Seamless Microservices

In a world where speed, resilience, and fault tolerance define success, Wix leverages Kafka to power asynchronous programming across 4,000 microservices. This talk explores four key patterns that boost developer velocity while solving common challenges with scalable, efficient, and reliable solutions:Integration Events: Shift from synchronous calls to pre-fetching to reduce query latency and improve user experience.Task Queue: Offload non-critical tasks like notifications to streamline request flows.Task Scheduler: Enable precise, fault-tolerant delayed or recurring workflows with robust scheduling.Iterator for Long-running Jobs: Process extensive workloads via chunked execution, optimizing scalability and resilience.For each pattern, we’ll discuss benefits, challenges, and how we mitigate drawbacks to create practical solutions/This session offers actionable insights for developers and architects tackling distributed systems, helping refine microservices and adopting Kafka-driven async excellence.
