- [Event\-Driven Workflow Orchestration on Apache Kafka with Kestra](https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2026/10/15/event-driven-workflow-orchestration-on-apache-kafka-with-kestra/): Kafka moves the events, but nothing coordinates what happens next\. This post shows how Kestra runs on the Kafka cluster you already operate, turns topics into workflow triggers that reach ServiceNow and RabbitMQ, and where Flink or Kafka Streams remain the better choice\.
- [Industrial IoT Landscape Q4 2026: The Plant Floor Is Becoming Software](https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2026/10/12/industrial-iot-landscape-q4-2026-the-plant-floor-is-becoming-software/): The Industrial IoT Landscape Q4 2026 maps vendors and open source from edge to cloud in four categories, explains the Unified Namespace shift, and shows where OT meets enterprise IT\.
- [Unified Orchestration in Telecom: One Control Plane Across OSS, BSS, and IT](https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2026/10/06/unified-orchestration-in-telecom-one-control-plane-across-oss-bss-and-it/): Telecom has more orchestration standards than any other industry, and the maturity stops at the network boundary\. This post maps unified orchestration to the operator: the four silos, the tools in each, the billing cycle, copper switch\-off, sovereign deployment, and governed AI agents in network operations\.
- [Why Jev by TypeSafe AI Fits Apache Kafka and Flink Better Than LLMs](https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2026/09/30/why-jev-by-typesafe-ai-fits-apache-kafka-and-flink-better-than-llms/): Jev by TypeSafe AI returns typed decisions with calibrated probabilities in a few hundred milliseconds\. This post shows how a System One model fits per\-event decisions on Apache Kafka and Flink, how Flink prepares the state, how confidence routing works as a topology, how the decision log becomes a trained model, and when not to use it in the stream\.
- [How System One Models Like Jev Change Enterprise AI Architecture](https://www.kai-waehner.de/blog/2026/09/28/how-system-one-models-like-jev-change-enterprise-ai-architecture/): System One models such as Jev by TypeSafe AI answer typed questions with calibrated probabilities in a few hundred milliseconds instead of generating text\. This post explains how they compare with rules, trained machine learning and LLMs, where they fit in data integration, process intelligence and agentic AI, what they mean for trust and sovereignty, and when to leave them out\.
