Listen to Tim Berglund, Gwen Shapira, and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
In this podcast, Ben Stopford explores the event-driven paradigm and how it relates to the microservice architectures we build today. Ben dives deep into coupling, evolution and challenges of our increasingly data-oriented culture.
librdkafka has finally reached 1.0! Several important new features include the idempotent producer, sparse broker connections, support for the vaunted KIP-62 and a complete makeover for the C#/.NET client.
Do metrics for detecting clients from old versions actually exist? Or is Gwen making features up? This and more useful advice is coming up on today's episode of Ask Confluent.
Nick Dearden explains the five stages of streaming maturity, from the first streaming project you ever build all the way to a state where an entire organization is transformed to think in terms of real-time, event-driven systems.
Tim Berglund and Viktor Gamov address some of the challenges and pitfalls of managing Kafka on Kubernetes at scale. They also share lessons learned from the development of the Confluent Operator for Kubernetes.
