Listen to Tim Berglund and guests unpack a variety of topics surrounding Apache Kafka®, Confluent, real-time data streaming, and the cloud.
Availability in Kafka Streams is hard, especially in the face of any changes. Apache Kafka Committer and Kafka Streams developer Sophie Blee-Goldman shares about how to solve the stop-the-world rebalance and scaling out problem in Kafka Streams using probing rebalances.
Matthias J. Sax is back to discuss how event streaming has changed the game, making time management more simple yet efficient. He explains what watermarking is, the reasons behind why Kafka Streams doesn’t use them, and an alternative approach to watermarking informally called the “slack time approach.”
Apache Kafka® Committer Matthias J. Sax explains fault tolerance, high-availability stream processing, and Kafka Streams. He explains the differences between changelogging and checkpointing, as well as making changes in Kafka versus hot standbys, explaining what qualifies nodes as a hot standby, why Kafka Streams doesn’t do watermarking, and finally, why Kafka Streams is a library and not infrastructure.
There’s something about YAML and the word “Docker” that doesn’t sit well with Viktor Gamov (Developer Advocate, Confluent), but Kafka Streams on Kubernetes is a phrase that does. Viktor describes what that process looks like and how Jib helps build, test, and deploy Kafka Streams applications on Kubernetes for an improved DevOps experience.
Neil Buesing (Director of Real-Time Data, Object Partners) discusses what a day in his life looks like and how Kafka Streams helps analyze flight data.
