Netflix migrated their Tudum fan site architecture from a CQRS pattern using Kafka and traditional caching to RAW Hollow, an in-memory compressed object database. The original architecture suffered from eventual consistency delays, taking minutes for content changes to appear. RAW Hollow eliminated the need for separate databases and Kafka infrastructure by storing the entire dataset in memory across application processes, reducing homepage construction time from 1.4 seconds to 0.4 seconds and enabling real-time content previews.
