IBM TechCon 2024 Recap: IBM MQ and Event Automation – What’s New and Trends

IBM TechCon 2024 Session Recap: IBM MQ and Event Automation – What’s New and Trends

This recap dives into the latest advancements in IBM MQ and Event Automation, unveiled at IBM TechCon 2024.

IBM MQ: Still a Powerful Messaging Foundation

The session kicked off with David Ware showcasing how IBM MQ, despite the rise of real-time data, remains a critical foundation for businesses. David highlighted how MQ’s asynchronous communication ensures smooth operations across various industries, from finance to healthcare.

The Rise of Event-Driven Everything

Matthew Sunley then focused on the growing importance of events in today’s data-driven world. He explained how events, encompassing everything from transactions to customer interactions, are key to real-time insights and swift action. Matthew contrasted traditional methods with the potential of event-driven architectures, emphasizing the transformative impact. However, he acknowledged challenges like event discovery and skill shortages.

IBM Event Automation: Making Events Accessible

This is where IBM Event Automation comes in. Designed for wider use, Event Automation simplifies the process of adopting an event-driven approach. It offers a reliable event backbone, a central catalog for easy event discovery, and low-code tools that empower business analysts, reducing reliance on developers. Recent updates include database connections for richer insights and increased deployment flexibility.

Keeping IBM MQ Up-to-Date

David also discussed ongoing improvements to IBM MQ, including a forthcoming Long-Term Support (LTS) release. He highlighted recent features like improved message expiration controls and streamlined high availability within Kubernetes environments.

Key Trends to Watch: The Future of Messaging

The session identified key trends shaping the future of messaging and event-driven architectures:

  • MQ’s Continued Importance: While the focus shifts towards maximizing its value with event-driven approaches, MQ remains a vital messaging foundation.
  • Real-Time Advantage: Businesses that embrace real-time insights will gain a competitive edge, and Event Automation is instrumental in achieving
  • Democratizing Events: Event Automation empowers business analysts, accelerating innovation by reducing reliance on specialized technical skills.
