Listen to Tim Berglund, Gwen Shapira, and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
Tim Berglund hosts Developer Advocate Ricardo Ferreira to discuss the concept of infrastructure as code, as well as the differences between Terraform, Ansible, Puppet and Chef.
Gwen asks: What happens when garbage collection causes Kafka to pause? And how do we run a Schema Registry cluster? We’ll find out in this episode of Ask Confluent.
