Solace

Leading enterprises around the world are looking beyond Kafka as they realize that batch‑oriented streaming can’t keep up with the real‑time demands of modern systems, AI agents, and globally distributed architectures. They’re choosing platforms built for true event‑driven performance — with smart hierarchical topics, dynamic routing across clouds, broad protocol support, and native Kafka integration that extends existing pipelines instead of replacing them. If your organization is feeling the limits of traditional streaming and exploring what comes next, it's time to rethink what real‑time can do for you. 👉 See why enterprises are adopting Solace as a Kafka alternative:  https://lnkd.in/eT63isY7

This month, we will step away from the AI fervour of Solace Agent Mesh, and focus on a graphical tool that our own Aaron Lee built to visualize the complex, multi-level topic structure of your own topic taxonomies. Join Aaron and Tom Fairbairn, Distinguished Engineer at Solace, to walk you through this graphical interactive tool to visualize your real-time Solace topic structure, to help your application architects and developers understand the "busy topics" that are present in your real-time Solace event-driven architecture. As always, register and mark your calendars for March 31st by visiting https://lnkd.in/eKTgQfvt , and be sure to tune into the livestream on LinkedIn and YouTube to ask any questions live-on-air.

That's precisely what Solace Agent Mesh does, and the implications are bigger than most teams realize. Here’s why your agents need it ➡️ https://lnkd.in/esUrQRvm
