I recently co-created Triage with a fully remote team! Triage is a service that solves head-of-line blocking for Kafka consumers. The application logic of Triage is written using Go and runs on AWS Fargate.

Event-driven architectures are something that stuck out to me as particularly interesting. I think because the Request-Response paradigm is so ubiquitous, a shift away from that struck me as particularly novel. In researching the domain, my team came across head-of-line blocking as a notable pain point, specifically for consuming applications. We knew we wanted to build something in the EDA space, and so, after some time comparing existing solutions, we decided to build Triage!

You can read our case study, watch our presentation, and meet the team at team-triage.github.io
