I’m brand new to writing KIPs (Kafka Improvement Proposals). I’ve written two so far, and my hands sweat every time I hit send on an email with ‘ KIP’ in the title. But I’ve also learned a lot from the process: about Apache Kafka internals, the process of writing KIPs, the Kafka community, and the most important motivation for developing software: our end users. What did I actually write? Let’s review KIP-941 and KIP-1020.

Last year, we introduced the Connect with Confluent partner program, enabling our technology partners to develop native integrations with Confluent Cloud. This gives our customers access to Confluent data streams from within their favorite applications and allows them to extract maximum value from their data.

By Marc Selwan
We’re excited to introduce Freight clusters—a new type of Confluent Cloud cluster designed for high-throughput, relaxed latency workloads that is up to 90% cheaper than self-managing open source Apache Kafka®. Freight clusters utilize the latest innovations in Confluent Cloud’s cloud-native engine, Kora, to deliver low cost networking by trading off ultra low latency performance.

Confluent has published official Docker containers for many years. They are the basis for deploying a cluster in Kubernetes using Confluent for Kubernetes (CFK), and one of the underpinning technologies behind Confluent Cloud. For testing, containers are convenient for quickly spinning up a local cluster with all the components required, such as Confluent Schema Registry or Confluent Control Center.

For their inaugural episode, Anna McDonald (the Duchess), Matthias J. Sax (the Doctor), and their extinct friend, Phil, wax rhapsodic about all things eventing: you’ll learn why events are a mindset, why the Duchess thinks you’ll find event immutability relaxing, and why your event streams might need some windows. The Duchess & The Doctor Show features a question-driven format that delivers substantial, yet easily comprehensible answers to user-submitted questions on all things events and eventing, including Apache Kafka, its ecosystem, and beyond!

In this video, Adam Bellemare compares and contrasts Event-Driven and Request-Driven Architectures to give you a better idea of the tradeoffs and benefits involved with each. Many developers start in the synchronous request-response (RR) world, using REST and RPC to build inter-service communications. But tight service-to-service coupling, scalability, fan-out sensitivity, and data access issues can still remain.

Every company faces the perennial problem of data integration but often experiences data silos, data quality issues, and data loss from point-to-point, batch-based integrations. Connectors decouple data sources and sinks through Apache Kafka, simplifying your architecture while providing flexibility, resiliency, and reliability at a massive scale.

An Event-Driven Architecture is more than just a set of microservices. Event Streams should represent the central nervous system, providing the bulk of communication between all components in the platform. Unfortunately, many projects stall long before they reach this point.

Traditional messaging middleware like Message Queues (MQs), Enterprise Service Buses (ESBs), and Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) tools have been widely used for decades to handle message distribution and inter-service communication across distributed applications. However, they can no longer keep up with the needs of modern applications across hybrid and multi cloud environments for asynchronicity, heterogeneous datasets and high volume throughput.

Why a data mesh? Predicated on delivering data as a first-class product, data mesh focuses on making it easy to publish and access important data across your organization. An event-driven data mesh combines the scale and performance of data in motion with product-focused rigor and self-service capabilities, putting data at the front and center of both operational and analytical use-cases.

Many forces affect software today: larger datasets, geographical disparities, complex company structures, and the growing need to be fast and nimble in the face of change. Proven approaches such as service-oriented (SOA) and event-driven architectures (EDA) are joined by newer techniques such as microservices, reactive architectures, DevOps, and stream processing. Many of these patterns are successful by themselves, but as this practical ebook demonstrates, they provide a more holistic and compelling approach when applied together.

Data pipelines do much of the heavy lifting in organizations for integrating, transforming, and preparing data for subsequent use in data warehouses for analytical use cases. Despite being critical to the data value stream, data pipelines fundamentally haven't evolved in the last few decades. These legacy pipelines are holding organizations back from really getting value out of their data as real-time streaming becomes essential.

In today's fast-paced business world, relying on outdated data can prove to be an expensive mistake. To maintain a competitive edge, it's crucial to have accurate real-time data that reflects the status quo of your business processes. With real-time data streaming, you can make informed decisions and drive value at a moment's notice. So, why would you settle for being simply data-driven when you can take your business to the next level with real-time data insights??
