Listen to Tim Berglund and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
Based on Apache Kafka® 2.8, Confluent Platform 6.2 introduces Health+, which offers intelligent alerting, cloud-based monitoring tools, and accelerated support so that you can get notified of potential issues before they manifest as critical problems that lead to downtime and business disruption.
As most developers and architects know, data always needs to be accessible no matter what happens outside of the system. This week, Tim Berglund virtually sits down with Anna McDonald (Principal Customer Success Technical Architect, Confluent) to discuss how Automatic Observer Promotion (AOP) can help solve the Apache Kafka 2.5 datacenter dilemma, a feature now available in Confluent Platform 6.1 and above.
Confluent Platform 6.1 further simplifies management tasks for Apache Kafka® operators. Based on Apache Kafka 2.7, this release provides even higher availability for enterprises who are using Kafka as the central backbone for their business-critical applications.
The release of Confluent Platform 6.0, based on Apache Kafka 2.6, introduces Tiered Storage, Self-Balancing Clusters, ksqlDB 0.10, Admin REST APIs, and Cluster Linking in preview.
Multi-Region Clusters improve high availability in Apache Kafka® and ensure cluster replication across multiple zones. In this episode, Anna McDonald and Mitch Henderson share common challenges that users often run into with Multi-Region Clusters, what causes them, and what to keep in mind when considering replication.
