Empowering Afrocentric Dreams Through Data Streams

This article is being written on the eve of my venture, The Manufactured Solution coming out from under the radar and ready for the world. When I start describing all of the brands, all of the features, you will realize the foundations of the solutions will be the power of the stream – the new paradigm of processes in the 21st century. You will also laugh at the so-called Black Boule / Blavity Afrotech movement – all these years, all that money they supposed to be getting for funding and they ain’t created shoot worth talking about, lol – a ghetto ass Black dude from Pulaski and Lexington on the West Side of Chicago had to put in this real work, damn.

Everything you learned about technology, how to code, how to compute, how to process may be obsolete in 2020 – the world you live in today is based on a streaming paradigm. Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates foresaw this era and Bill Gates famous “Business @ the Speed of Thought” written 20 years ago has predicted the moment we are in today. You need to understand the basics of this paradigm of streaming.

Artificial intelligence, your media, supply chain, workflows, your business operations, sensors and more in the year 2020 is all based on primarily on streaming. You heard of the terms real-time data, video streaming, streaming game systems, social media streams and we are going to explain everything behind this.

Your future of an employee, an entrepreneur or consulting or social cause is going to heavily rely on your ability to react in real-time and if you are not on top of this paradigm, you going to be looking as silly as a bougie Black person who mistakenly thought networking and clout-chasing is how you get somewhere in the 21st century.


Understanding Data Streams

A data stream is a packet of information that is sent from one server to another server. What most people think of is live streaming where video packets are sent from the broadcaster to the customer client – Netflix is a streaming service in this fashion. However, data streams are very prevalent among tech companies such as gaming streaming, financial data streaming and workflow streaming – this is the streaming you need to know about and what we talking about.

If you look at the image above – it is our process to create a new Kossier account. We do not execute this code in a procedural/sequential manner like most people are taught to code – we use message-orientated calls and get a response back for each state for a complete status. So a separate “microservice” perform their individual tasks and report back and when all states are green – we are ready.

From an African-American perspective you need to understand what we call the “Dr. Claud Anderson flaw” where the old man babbles about we need to do this first, then we need to do this next, then we need to do that before doing this and can’t do this before that – creating made-up rules and barriers to growth before we try to start anything to empower ourselves in our communities.

No, the most scalable and realistic way to get something done is we distribute tasks out as a stream to dedicated service processors who are good at doing that one thing and when they all come back green light – we got our stuff ready to go. So with Kossier account created, we are waiting for an address to come back, keys to come back and assign the address, encrypt the email the user provided and create a Michibook – notice these things can execute and when it comes back, we stamp the results with the address at the beginning. That’s how you supposed to do it and they don’t teach our people this in school, they got us taking step 1 then step 2 trying to keep us at step 1.

This is how streams work and if you use Amazon, you know your order is placed immediately but your card is not charged immediately because they use microservices to determine if your product is available to ship and when a status come back it being prepared for shipment, then they charge your card – that’s how Amazon scales while generic e-commerce routines crash during Black Friday surges.

How You Design and Execute with Data Streaming

This is where you may not realize it – this is the opportunity and the money while people losing their procedural jobs – you can start creating your own microservices that perform tasks. We already discussed this years ago when I created an article highlighting how to use our platform with Kossier.

For example, you can create a microservice that maintain a Kossier messaging promotion campaign. Any merchant that open up shop can ask their customer to sign up for Kossier messaging promotions and they send the Kossier address to your microservice in their code – they don’t have to create their own code. You add the merchant address and the Kossier address to your microservice and charge .35 cents per user addition and charge .35 cents per promotion.

You can also send out a bill every week showing the number of new Kossier users added or removed and give them advice – you can sit on your butt watching TV while your microservice add and remove Kossier users on demand for merchants all around the world (yes – the world, Kossier is a global platform). That’s how you can start up a side hustle by creating various microservices that can perform outsourced tasks that businesses can piece together such as create a gift card, sign up for a promotion, deliver downloads and media streams and more.

So your microservice design should be simple – it operates as an API web service where you have an URL such as /subscription/add/[Kossier address] or /subscription/remove/[Kossier address] and this works as a part of any business process stream. You return back a status stating the your task was successful or unsuccessful but you call a billing stream microservice created by another Dream and Hustle reader that create invoices to email to the merchant – all of yall getting paid creating streams to talk to each other.

Examples of Things You Can Do as Streams

The best way to think of ideas to create micro-services is to think about that stuck-up co-worker at your job acting like they all that – you create microservices that perform their job task so you can obsolete their stuck-up behind out of a job and you run it under an alias so you make money while sitting at your desk laughing and smirking at any other co-worker that want to act extra or talk spicy about you behind your back.

You are basically becoming an information broker or a service broker with streamed micro-services. For example, in my example above – you can create a cryptocurrency vault microservice where you manage the customer keys for an crypto-exchange.  Instead of being a goofball crypto-exchange owner in Tokyo getting hacked and keys stolen – I simply send the keys to your microservice and send them to another microservice and you both encrypt the keys independently and the customer crypto keys are nowhere on my servers to be hacked. You and the other microservice just charge me a hosting fee for each of my customers crypto keys I’m hosting on your microservice.

Here are examples of microservices:

Royalties – when an article is loaded for you to read on Dream and Hustle, a microservice is called passing in the paid user address, the story address and create a payment distribution directive where I get my share and Dream and Hustle get their share. This same method can be done for the music industry where we are working international deals to import music genres under this arrangement where the artists in South Africa or Indonesia (yall sleep on this) are paid – better than the current streaming arrangements.

Supply chains – when a product goes out of stock, the merchant inventory system can call your microservice that checks around town for that product, price, delivery date and return the best option to re-stock that merchant store. This can also be done for Black-owned bars that want to serve Black-owned wine brands to search for products available to stock. You are an information broker that can connect suppliers and merchants automatically with your microservice.

Autoresponders – your microservice receive the Kossier address of someone who just scanned a Kossier check-in service. Your microservice is triggered and can send a message to the Kossier user if they like to upgrade to VIP seating area or upsell them on a drink. Your microservice task is to sell upgraded services and perks to all of the merchants and you make a commission if they reply with a yes. Your microservice send a message back to the merchant that they agreed to the upgrade service or other perks.

Stolen Products – if a resale shop get a luxury purse, the shop can pass the serial number to your microservice that tracks all serial codes for pawnshops and the resale shop can tell if the purse is reported stolen or constantly pawned or reported as a fake

As you see, businesses are leveraging your microservice to create tasks they need critical to their business operations. You are paid per task and can sign up merchants quickly through our ecosystem. So we are looking at game-changing opportunities where Black-owned businesses are enabled with distribution services, membership loyalty services, scheduling and reservation services and pickup and delivery services – all driven by calling streams of micro-services.

This is Only the Beginning

As you learned about the power of data streaming, this is how you fight a recession and empower your people at the same damn time.  And this is only the beginning – we haven’t talked about the other paradigms of data streaming.

Story streaming is how we plan to operate our business web sites – no more “brochureware” pages, we constantly stream stories and new information regarding the business.

On-demand streaming business models where people can start a business operation by leveraging various microservices on deck to run everything from inventory, accounting, marketing and partners are paid fairly to the pre-programmed agreed terms – this is what you may know as a co-op model.

Supply chain streaming allow processes to create, manufacture and distribute products to get products delivered to stores or ordered digitally from a QR code or a click on an ad or a chatbot facilitating the sale. This is great for resale products so if you acquire a Movado watch, your suppliers can be notified and run a bid process to purchase to resale at their boutique.

So yeah, I’m sorry these other so-called Black tech folks just want you to admire them with their cornball magazine write-ups while some ghetto ass Black dude from the West Side of Chicago created a platform to allow data streams and mobile-first paradigms exist in our communities to quickly get the people empowered and businesses operating in a just-in-time manner. This is how we are going to shape the 21st century with our people – through the power of streaming.
