SUMMARY:From Queues to Logs and Back Again
LOCATION:Room 2000
DESCRIPTION:Viktor Gamov\n\nWelcome to a brief history of messaging\, told 
 as a story of constraints falling away. I will start in the era of the que
 ue\, when a broker's job was to move a message and forget it. Around 2011\
 , Kafka inverted the model: keep messages\, make the log durable\, and let
  consumers replay history instead of reading it once. That one idea reshap
 ed our architectures (stream processing\, event sourcing) and turned a mes
 saging system into the place where companies keep their source of truth. F
 ast forward to now: ZooKeeper is gone\, storage is moving to object stores
 \, and queues are returning to Kafka via shared groups. And we look forwar
 d. We made data durable and replayable. It's time to hand that substrate t
 o AI agents that need memory\, context\, and a record of what just happene
 d. I'll make the case that the messaging layer is where agentic systems wi
 ll live. Whether you run anything with "MQ" in the name\, you'll leave wit
 h a map of how we got here and a strong opinion about where we're headed.
