Over the years, McDonald’s has undergone a significant digital transformation to enhance customer experiences, strengthen its brand, and optimize overall operations.
At the core of this transformation is a robust technological infrastructure that unifies processes across various channels and touchpoints throughout their global operations.
The need for unified event processing emerged from McDonald's extensive digital ecosystem, where events are utilized across the technology stack. There were three key processing types:
Asynchronous operations
Transactional processing
Analytical data handling
The events were used across use cases such as mobile-order progress tracking and sending customers marketing communications (deals and promotions).
Coupled with the scale of McDonald’s operations, the system needed an architecture that could handle:
Global deployment requirements
Real-time event processing
Cross-channel integration
High-volume transaction processing
In this article, we’re going to look at McDonald’s journey of developing a unified platform enabling real-time, event-driven architectures.
Design Goals of the Platform
McDonald's unified event-driven platform was built with specific foundational principles to support its global operations and customer-facing services.
Each design goal was carefully considered to ensure the platform's robustness and efficiency. Let’s look at the goals in a little more detail.
Scalability
The platform needed the ability to auto-scale to accommodate demand.
For this purpose, they engineered it to handle growing event volumes through domain-based sharding across multiple MSK clusters. This approach enables horizontal scaling and efficient resource utilization as transaction volumes increase.
High Availability
The platform had to be capable enough to withstand failures in components.
System resilience is achieved through redundant components and failover mechanisms. The architecture includes a standby event store that maintains operation continuity when the primary MSK service experiences issues.
Performance
The goal was to deliver events in real time with the ability to handle highly concurrent workloads.
Real-time event delivery is facilitated through optimized processing paths and schema caching mechanisms. The system maintains low latency while handling high-throughput scenarios across different geographical regions.
Security
The data needed to adhere to data security guidelines.
The platform implements comprehensive security measures, including:
Authentication layers for external partner integrations
Secure event gateways
Adherence to strict data security protocols
Reliability
The platform must be dependable with controls to avoid losing any events.
Event loss prevention is achieved through:
Dead-letter topic management
Robust error-handling mechanisms
Reliable delivery guarantees
Automated recovery procedures
Consistency
The platform should maintain consistency around important patterns related to error handling, resiliency, schema evolution, and monitoring.
Standardization is maintained using:
Custom SDKs for different programming languages
Unified implementation patterns
Centralized schema registry
Consistent event contract management
Simplicity
The platform should reduce operational complexity so that teams can build on the platform with ease.
Operational complexity is minimized with:
Automated cluster management
Streamlined developer tools
Simplified administrative interfaces
Clear implementation patterns

Key Components of the Architecture
The diagram below shows the high-level architecture of McDonald’s event-driven architecture.
The key components of the architecture are as follows:
Event Broker
The core component of the platform is AWS Managed Streaming for Kafka (MSK), which handles:
Communication management between producers and consumers.
Topic organization and management.
Event distribution across the platform.
Schema Registry
A schema registry is a critical component that maintains data quality by storing all event schemas.
This enables schema validation for producers as well as consumers. It also allows the consumers to determine which schema to follow for message processing.
Standby Event Store
This component helps avoid the loss of messages if MSK is unavailable.
It performs the following functions:
Acts as a fallback mechanism when Kafka is unavailable.
Temporarily stores events that couldn't be published to Kafka.
Works with AWS Lambda function to retry publishing events to Kafka once it is available.
Custom SDKs
The McDonald’s engineering team built language-specific libraries for producers and consumers.
Here are the features supported by these SDKs:
Standardized interfaces for both producers and consumers.
Built-in schema validation capabilities.
Automated error handling and retry mechanisms.
Abstraction of complex platform operations.
Event Gateway
McDonald’s event-based architecture is required to support internally generated events and events produced by external partner applications.
The event gateway serves as an interface for external integrations by:
Providing HTTP endpoints for external partners.
Converting HTTP requests to Kafka events.
Implementing authentication and authorization layers.
Supporting Utilities
These are administrative tools that offer capabilities such as:
Management of dead-letter topics
Error handling for failed events
Administrative interfaces for event monitoring
Cluster management capabilities
Event Processing Flow
The event processing system at McDonald's follows a sophisticated flow that ensures data integrity and efficient processing.
The diagram below shows the overall processing flow.
Let’s look at it in more detail by dividing the flow in two major themes - event creation and event reception.
Event Creation and Sharing
The first step is to create a blueprint (schema) for each type of event and store it in a central library also known as the schema registry.
Apps that want to create events use a special tool (producer SDK) to do so.
When an app starts up, it saves a copy of the event blueprint for quick access.
The tool checks if the event matches the blueprint before sending it out.
If everything looks good, the event is sent to the main message board, which is the primary topic.
If there's a problem with the event or a fixable error, it's sent to a separate area (dead-letter topic) for that app.
If the message system (MSK) is down, the event is saved in a backup database (DynamoDB).
Event Reception
Apps that want to receive events use the consumer SDK. This SDK also checks if the received events match their blueprints.
When an event is successfully received, the application marks it as "read" and moves on to the next one.
Events in the problem area (dead-letter topic) can be fixed later and sent back to the main message board.
Events from partner companies ("Outer Events") come in through the event gateway as mentioned earlier.
Techniques for Key Challenges
The McDonald’s engineering team also used some interesting techniques to solve common challenges associated with the setup.
Let’s look at a few important ones:
Data Governance
Ensuring data accuracy is crucial when different systems share information. If the data is reliable, it makes designing and building these systems much simpler.
MSK and Schema Registry help maintain data integrity by enforcing "data contracts" between systems.
A schema is like a blueprint that defines what information should be present in each message and in what format. It specifies the required and optional data fields and their types (e.g., text, number, date). Every message is checked against this blueprint in real time. If a message doesn't match the schema, it's sent to a separate area to be fixed.
Here's how schemas work:
When a system starts, it saves a list of known schemas for quick reference.
Schemas can be updated to include more fields or change data types.
When a system sends a message, it includes a version number to indicate which schema was used.
The receiving system uses this version number to process the message with the correct schema.
This approach handles messages with different schemas without interruption and allows easy updates and rollbacks.
See the diagram below for reference:
Using a schema registry to validate data contracts ensures that the information flowing between systems is accurate and consistent. This saves time and effort in designing and operating the systems that rely on this data, especially for analytics purposes.
Cluster Autoscaling
MSK is a messaging system that helps different parts of an application communicate with each other. It uses brokers to store and manage the messages.
As the amount of data grows, MSK automatically increases the storage space for each broker. However, they needed a way to add more brokers to the system when the existing ones got overloaded.
To solve this problem, they created an Autoscaler function. See the diagram below:
Think of this function as a watchdog that keeps an eye on how hard each broker is working. When a broker's workload (measured by CPU utilization) goes above a certain level, the Autoscaler function kicks in and does two things:
It adds a new broker to the MSK system to help handle the increased workload.
It triggers a lambda function to redistribute the data evenly across all the brokers, including the new one.
This way, the MSK system can automatically adapt to handle more data and traffic without the need to add brokers or move data around manually.
Domain-Based Sharding
To ensure that the messaging system can handle a lot of data and minimize the risk of failures, they divide events into separate groups based on their domain.
Each group has its own dedicated MSK cluster. This is like having separate mailrooms for different departments in a large company. The domain of an event determines which cluster and topic it belongs to. For example, events related to user profiles might go to one cluster, while events related to product orders might go to another.
Applications that need to receive events can choose to get them from any of these domain-based topics. This improves flexibility and helps distribute the workload across the system.
To make sure the platform is always available and can serve users globally, it is set up to work across multiple regions. In each region, there is a high-availability configuration. This means that if one part of the system goes down, another part can take over seamlessly, ensuring uninterrupted service.
Conclusion
McDonald's event-driven architecture demonstrates a successful implementation of a large-scale, global event processing platform. The system effectively handles diverse use cases from mobile order tracking to marketing communications while maintaining high reliability and performance.
Key success factors include the robust implementation of AWS MSK, effective schema management, and comprehensive error-handling mechanisms. The architecture's domain-based sharding approach and auto-scaling capabilities have proven crucial for handling growing event volumes.
Some best practices established through this implementation include:
A standardized SDK usage across different programming languages.
Centralized schema management.
Robust error handling with dead-letter topics.
Performance optimization through schema caching.
Looking ahead, McDonald's platform is positioned to evolve with planned enhancements including:
Formal event specification support.
Transition to serverless MSK.
Implementation of partition autoscaling.
Enhanced developer tooling and experience.
These improvements will further strengthen the platform's capabilities while maintaining its core design principles of scalability, reliability, and simplicity.

ABSTRACT:
HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is the technology of indoor environmental comfort. HVAC system design is a sub-discipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. HVAC is important in the design of medium to large industrial and office buildings such as skyscrapers and in marine environments such as aquariums, where safe and healthy building conditions are regulated with respect to temperature and humidity, using fresh air from outdoors. New methods of modernization, higher efficiency, and system control are constantly introduced by companies and inventors worldwide. The three central functions of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning are interrelated, especially with the need to provide thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within reasonable installation, operation, and maintenance costs. HVAC systems can provide ventilation, reduce air infiltration, and maintain pressure relationships between spaces. The means of air delivery and removal from spaces is known as room air distribution. The starting point in carrying out an estimate both for cooling and heating depends on the exterior climate and interior specified conditions. However before taking up the heat load calculation, it is necessary to find fresh air requirements for each area in detail, as pressurization is an important consideration.
In modern buildings the design, installation, and control systems of these functions are integrated into one or more HVAC systems. Building services designers and engineers, such as mechanical, architectural, or building services engineers analyze, design, and specify the HVAC systems, and specialty mechanical contractors fabricate and commission them. Building permits and code-compliance inspections of the installations are normally required for all sizes of buildings.

So whether your customers are searching on Google, Bing, Apple Maps, Uber, Sat Navs and so on - if your business is listed through our Listing Manager you will come up as a local provider.
Three key benefits of Listing Manager:
All managed in one dashboard - Update your business’ details once, and it will instantly sync to over 45 listings.

All for just £425 for a full year!

P.S. Here's what Jonathan Anelli had to say recently:
“Been working with infoserve on and off for a number of years. I have found MASSIVELY USEFUL is LISTINGS MANAGER. My business isn't the sort that people search for through listings. However, the one-stop-shop approach for dozens of high-quality links has proved instrumental in my site developing a high authority score! I'm ranking better than competitors simply because I have higher authority... (please don't tell them about this)”

How to tackle 21st-century challenges: A leader’s guide
Leading Off
Meet the moment Brought to you by Alex Panas, global leader of industries, & Axel Karlsson, global leader of functional practices and growth platforms
Welcome to the latest edition of Leading Off. We hope you find our insights useful. Let us know what you think at Alex_Panas@McKinsey.com and Axel_Karlsson@McKinsey.com.
—Alex and Axel
The biggest hurdle to creating resilient and high-performing teams is developing a deep bench of leaders who can excel in a turbulent world, according to McKinsey global managing partner Bob Sternfels, senior partners Daniel Pacthod and Kurt Strovink, and senior adviser Wyman Howard. They note that CEOs face a growing number of critical issues to manage, and the personal attributes and best practices associated with strong leadership have changed substantially over time. Some of the most important traits for current and future leaders include maintaining positive energy, selflessness, curiosity, grit, and even a sense of humor. CEOs should also be able to convey vision and possibilities both inside and outside of the organization and engage authentically with employees, customers, and other stakeholders. Companies should prioritize investing in their own “leadership factories” and providing on-the-job training for 21st-century leaders to develop these skills. The authors say: “The organizations that treat leadership development as a core capability and proactively address the needs of both existing and aspiring leaders can raise their overall resilience and substantially improve the odds that they will be able to withstand disruption—whatever it is, and whenever it appears next.”
That’s how much more likely companies are to be healthy when they emphasize an empowering leadership style, according to recent data from McKinsey’s Organizational Health Index. “Leaders should make sure those closest to the work have the autonomy to make their own decisions,” say senior partners Aaron De Smet and Arne Gast and their coauthors. Leaders must also recognize that the classic model of “Do it because I said so” no longer applies. The authors note: “In this era of disruption, leaders can be challenging and decisive while being supportive, consultative, and empowering. But badgering people, micromanaging them, and applying positional authority to pressure people to do more and do better is no longer effective.”
Lead yourself before you lead others. That’s a fundamental lesson for current and future leaders, says McKinsey senior partner Ramesh Srinivasan, coauthor of The Journey of Leadership: How CEOs Can Learn to Lead from the Inside Out. In a recent episode of The McKinsey Podcast, Srinivasan and one of his coauthors, senior partner emeritus Hans-Werner Kaas, emphasize that leaders must be self-aware and learn how to balance contrasting qualities, such as courage and curiosity or confidence and humility, so they can be more effective in guiding their organizations and employees. “We call it human-centric leadership,” Srinivasan says. “Our belief is that leaders need to reflect on their purpose, who they are, how they show up in the world, and how they can inspire their teams and the institutions they’re leading.”
Fostering an inclusive culture is an essential step to motivate today’s employees, many of whom are yearning for greater connection to their work. Senior partners Brooke Weddle and John Parsons and their coauthors identify several “power moves” that leaders can take to involve employees in culture changes that make them feel more engaged, purposeful, and productive. These include exposing their teams to new ideas and best practices that may not have been previously considered, encouraging employees to volunteer for culture-change roles, and embedding new rituals and routines into the workplace to break old, unproductive habits. The authors note that it’s critical “for leaders in culture transformations to widen the aperture for teams and individuals in their organizations. They must find space for creativity, build enthusiasm for it, and inject it into employees’ everyday activities.”
Lead by embracing a new approach.

•
A generation of change. Born between 1996 and 2010, Gen Z has been shaped by digital technology, climate-related anxiety, and economic uncertainty. As McKinsey’s managing partner for Latin America, Tracy Francis, and partner Fernanda Hoefel note, Gen Z is the first generation to grow up with the internet as a part of daily life. This generation is also known for its social consciousness and activism. As more Gen Zers enter the workforce, they are disrupting traditional workplace norms and pushing for a more flexible and purpose-driven work environment.
•
Tough times. Gen Zers face a range of work-related challenges, including a mental health crisis, financial insecurity, and a rapidly changing job market. They report the highest prevalence of mental health issues of any generation, research by McKinsey partner Erica Hutchins Coe and coauthors find. Many Gen Zers are also pessimistic about their chances of ever buying a home or retiring. Read our McKinsey Explainer “What is Gen Z?” to learn more about this generation’s characteristics and their role in today’s workplace.

The Ultimate Redis 101
Redis is one of the most popular data stores in the world and is packed with features.
Here are 8 simple steps that can help you understand the fundamentals of Redis.
What is Redis?
Redis (Remote Dictionary Server) is a multi-modal database that provides sub-millisecond latency. The core idea behind Redis is that a cache can also act as a full-fledged database.Redis Adoption
High-traffic internet websites like Airbnb, Uber, Slack, and many others have adopted Redis in their technology stack.How Redis Changed the Database Game?
Redis supported main memory read/writes while still supporting fully durable storage. Read and writes are served from the main memory but the data is also persisted to the disk. This is done using snapshots (RDB) and AOF.Redis Data Structures
Redis stores data in key-value format. It supports various data structures such as strings, bitmaps, lists, sets, sorted sets, hash, JSON, etc.Basic Redis Commands
Some of the most used Redis commands are SET, GET, DELETE, INCR, HSET, etc. There are many more commands available.Redis Modules
Redis modules are add-ons that extend Redis functionality beyond its core features. Some prominent modules are RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisGraph, RedisBloom, RedisAI, RedisTimeSeries, RedisGears, RedisML, and so on.Redis Pub/Sub
Redis also supports even-driven architecture using a publish-subscribe communication model.Redis Use Cases
Top Redis use cases are Distributed Caching, Session Storage, Message Queue, Rate Limiting, High-Speed Database, etc.
Over to you: What else will you add to get a better understanding of Redis?
6 Software Architectural Patterns You Must Know
Choosing the right software architecture pattern is essential for solving problems efficiently.
Layered Architecture
Each layer plays a distinct and clear role within the application context.
Great for applications that need to be built quickly. On the downside, source code can become unorganized if proper rules aren’t followedMicroservices Architecture
Break down a large system into smaller and more manageable components.
Systems built with microservices architecture are fault tolerant. Also, each component can be scaled individually. On the downside, it might increase the complexity of the application.Event-Driven Architecture
Services talk to each other by emitting events that other services may or may not consume.
This style promotes loose coupling between components. However, testing individual components becomes challengingClient-Server Architecture
It comprises two main components - clients and servers communicating over a network.
Great for real-time services. However, servers can become a single point of failure.Plugin-based Architecture
This pattern consists of two types of components - a core system and plugins. The plugin modules are independent components providing a specialized functionality.
Great for applications that have to be expanded over time like IDEs. However, changing the core is difficult.Hexagonal Architecture
This pattern creates an abstraction layer that protects the core of an application and isolates it from external integrations for better modularity. Also known as ports and adapters architecture.
On the downside, this pattern can lead to increased development time and learning curve.
Over to you: Which other architectural pattern have you seen?
Top Eventual Consistency Patterns You Must Know
Eventual consistency is a data consistency model that ensures that updates to a distributed database are eventually reflected across all nodes. Techniques like async replication help achieve eventual consistency.
However, eventual consistency can also result in data inconsistency. Here are 4 patterns that can help you design applications.
Pattern#1 - Event-based Eventual Consistency
Services emit events and other services listen to these events to update their database instances. This makes services loosely coupled but delays data consistency.
Pattern#2 - Background Sync Eventual Consistency
In this pattern, a background job makes the data across databases consistent. It results in slower eventual consistency since the background job runs on a specific schedule.
Pattern#3 - Saga-based Eventual Consistency
Saga is a sequence of local transactions where each transaction updates data with a single service. It is used to manage long-lived transactions that are eventually consistent.
Pattern#4 - CQRS-based Eventual Consistency
Separate read and write operations into different databases that are eventually consistent. Read and write models can be optimized for specific requirements.
