Thanks to the foundation that Confluent and Responsive provides us, Metronome has been able to scale our streaming data infrastructure to provide real time billing for the fastest growing software companies.

Only 2 weeks to go to my Current Talk! The ambition is to leave you with a new appreciation of Kafka Streams' design, tradeoffs and all. You'll be surprised to learn about the mighty systems with the same tradeoffs, and what they did about them. events.bizzabo.com/599116/agenda/…

The 79th edition of my Kafka Monthly Digest is out! It covers the progress on 3.9.0, recent KIPs and community project releases and blogs developers.redhat.com/blog/2024/09/0…

Why am I going to Current? 💎

Finally found time to read the blog post about Responsive's AsyncProcessor. "That’s why we believe this feature belongs in the core Kafka Streams product and are committed to contributing it back upstream to Apache Kafka." I hope it's coming soon to open source!

In part one of her four-part, deep-dive blog series examining how Apache Kafka client requests are handled by brokers, Danica Fine looks at what a producer does behind the scenes to help prepare your raw event data for the broker. Read it here ➡️ cnfl.io/3zaf4pp

Seems I am going to speak at Community Over Code! -- Hope to see you there! I love Lucia Cerchie 🌲's idea to explain how KIPs work. It's actually a great process and we hope this talk helps that folks are not intimidated by it.

Congratulations to our newest PMC member, Josep Prat!
