Complex Event Processor: Architecture and Kafka Integration

Complex Event Processor: Architecture, Patterns, and Kafka Integration Teams often mix up stream processing and complex event processing, and that misunderstanding costs them when they attempt to deploy fraud detection, IoT correlation, or supply-chain monitoring on top of Kafka. Existing documentation doesn’t clarify this. Vendor blogs describe a complex event processor as if it were merely a slightly fancier stream processor, then hide the integration and governance work that actually decides whether the system ships to production.
