By modeling onboarding as a stream of business events powered by Kafka, organizations can distribute responsibility across services, improve team ownership, strengthen resilience, and support regional and product-specific complexity without continuously expanding a central orchestrator.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/KhCapPSRkLGL2Xw8888yuChkNRWthaKapLYTvNdu4W4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxMTY2LzE2ODM1/ODIzMzAtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
