Great episode with @ableegoldman.bsky.social! Well, I didn’t expect it to be anything else than outstanding! youtu.be/QEZILs_qk8Y

In case you missed it. The eagle has landed… cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...

There is a new KIP-1244 proposing to deprecate the Kafka Streams Scala API, and remove it with the next major release. Please join the discussion on the dev mailing list if this concerns you.

I had the pleasure to get an „early access“, and have to say, it’s a great book! #KafkaStreams

Big news for open source in Taiwan! ALC Taipei has officially launched with The ASF's support and is already contributing across Kafka, Airflow, YuniKorn, Ozone and more. Read the full story → buff.ly/RSPuecn #CommunityOverCode #OpenSource

10K. Quite a number!

Sounds like fun!

We are backing up a larger KIP for Kafka Streams. Exciting! …headers… cough. Stay tuned. Maybe a we can publish it as a holiday present.

🚀 I've built a new interactive simulation of #Kafka Streams, showcasing state stores! See state stores being restored, switch between RocksDB & in-memory state store behavior,restart tasks. Great for understanding or explaining Kafka Streams! Try it here: kafkastreamsfieldguide.com/tools/state-...

Just published my #KafkaStreams news summary! 🔥 Highlights: 4.1.1 bug-fix release, upcoming DLQ feature for Kafka Streams, new Streams UI in Confluent Cloud, Current sessions, & more. kafkastreamsfieldguide.com/articles/kaf... #ApacheKafka

This was fun! Thanks @gamussa.dev for having me. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

We are happy to share that the Apache Kafka 4.1.1 bug-fix release is now available! It contains a critical memory-leak fix for #KafkaStreams and many other fixes. For details see kafka.apache.org/blog#apache_... Thanks to 32 contributors and Lianet Magrans as our RM.

#ApacheKafka did grow up over the years, and conference talks changed accordingly... -- If you like to nerd out, "The Kafka Protocol Destructed" talk by Mateo Rojas from LittleHorse is a refreshing change back to the roots! current.confluent.io/post-confere...

Repeat after me: Kafka TX timeout is not a producer liveness check, but a guard against head of line blocking for read-committed consumers.

Including “Strengthening Kafka Streams Operations and Observability” — If you are using #KafkaStreams on Confluent Cloud you should check out the announcement.

#KafkaStreams is at the core of Metronome. "There is some talks we've given[...] on what it looks like to run KS at scale." -- "We are storing TBs of state in RocksDB." A very advanced deployment requiring careful engineering. But the library approach shines! Check it out. cnfl.io/3WPoAGE

I've built a Core Insights dashboard for #Kafka Streams! 📊 This Prometheus-based Grafana dashboard brings together the metrics that actually matter. One view to spot issues before they become incidents. #dataengineering kafkastreamsfieldguide.com/articles/kaf...

Also congrats to our friends from Michelin. Excited to see their DLQ feature for #KafkaStreams being included in the upcoming #ApacheKafka 4.2.0 release. #Current #DataStreamingAwards current.confluent.io/data-streami...

Data Streaming Awards at #Current „…Kafka Streams where reliability matters the most“ Congrats Raft!

Calling database nerds in SF! I'm covering SlateDB at the systems meetup next Wednesday (10/29). If you're around, I'd love to meet you in person (that way you'll have proof I'm not just an AI bot). 👉 luma.com/e7feg2i6

Happy to share, that we did release an update to our @kafkastreams.bsky.social UI in #ConfluentCloud. We are now showing more detailed information about instances, threads, running/rebalancing state, and JMX metrics. Check it out and let us know what you think! www.confluent.io/blog/monitor...

I've just published the 92nd edition of my Kafka Monthly Digest! It covers the 4.1.0 release, as well as progress on 4.0.1 and 4.2.0. I also covers new KIPs, recent community releases and blog posts. developers.redhat.com/blog/2025/10...

Any KIP-1071 experience out there? Asking for a friend.

I hate it when @kafkastreams.bsky.social ships with a memory leak. I hate it even more, if I am the offender…

I loving working with the #ApacheKafka community! (Step 1) A person asks a question on Confluent Community Slack, and it sounds like a serious issue, so we ask them to file a Jira ticket. \1

While we are waiting for Apache Kafka 4.1.0 release, the development does not stop. We just completed KIP-1034 (cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...) which adds a DLQ feature to Kafka Streams. Very exciting!

Praise in public, criticize in private.
