A herança maldita do regime de 1964por João FurtadoNão vou falar dos crimes hediondos, porque desses falam com propriedade as mães e os pais que perderam os seus filhos e os filhos e netos que perderam mães, pais, avós e avôs. Vou falar da herança maldita que ainda hoje sequestra o nosso futuro e nos priva das alegrias da prosperidade que queremos compartilhar. Há quem diga que o regime modernizou o país. Errado. As grandes obras não são modernidade.

In Mercafacil, most of our microservices rely on Kafka to deliver asynchronous events between microservices. Recently we ran into the "The coordinator is not aware of this member" Kafka consumer error, leading to messages being processed repeatedly in a loop. Such behavior not only strains resources but can also cause detrimental data inconsistencies, since we have events like sending messages to customers or crediting cashback into customer's wallets.
