From Mainframe to Microservices with Pivotal Platform and Kafka: Bridging the Data Divide

Express Scripts, a Cigna corporation company, is reimagining its data and software architecture to bring best-in-class user experience and provide the foundation of next-generation applications. The challenge lies in the ability to efficiently and cost-effectively access the ever-increasing amount of data.

This talk will showcase how Pivotal Platform and Apache Kafka are leveraged within Express Scripts’ transformation from mainframe to a microservices-based ecosystem, ensuring data integrity between two worlds.

You'll learn:

- how Express Scripts is building cloud-based microservices when the system of record is a relational database residing on an on-premise mainframe

- how Change Data Capture (CDC) enables event-driven architecture

- how Spring framework is used to bind microservices to Kafka

- how Express Scripts uses Pivotal Platform to build and scale microservices

- how to use Kafka streams and Pivotal Cloud Cache (PCC) to offload the database as part of a data pipeline
