If you're interested in the new rebalance protocol for Kafka Streams and couldn't attend my talk with @bruno.cadonna.name at Current London, the recording is now online: current.confluent.io/post-confere...

@ableegoldman.bsky.social from @responsive.dev about async processing in #KafkaStreams Or is it parallel processing? 🦦 #Current2025

Slides, code samples, and blog post for KIP-1033 and KIP-1034 from the creators.

@lucasbrut.bsky.social and I have a talk about the new Streams rebalance protocol (a.k.a. KIP-1071) at Current London 2025 on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, 2:00 PM - 2:45 PM, Breakout Room 6. If you like otters, coffee, (Franz) Kafka, Kafka Streams, and open-heart surgery, you should come to our talk.

My talk #StreamProcessing Smackdown: #KafkaStreams v Apache Flink" is coming to #CurrentLondon 2025 Which framework do you prefer? - Challenging decision points? - Use cases where one shines? - Aspects you want covered? Drop your thoughts below #dataBS #current25 @confluent.io

Thrilled to announce that I'll be bringing my 'charming French accent' to #Current25 London to present my talk: 'Massive Kafka Streams Topology Revamp in Production: No Chaos, No Headaches! My Key Takeaways 🦾'. Can’t wait to share the lessons learned! #kafka #eda #kafkaStreams #kstreamplify

Had a blast yesterday at #Current2025 As part of our talk “One Client to Rule them all” we prepared a survey to learn more about your Kafka Clients pain points. We would appreciate your input docs.google.com/forms/d/1vXr...

Apache Kafka 4.0.0 is released. Check out the release notes here: dlcdn.apache.org/kafka/4.0.0/...

Welcome to @lucasbrut.bsky.social! Good to see you joining the party!

For all the otters and not-yet-otters in the blue sky! Happy holidays! (Don't take the "no otter" literally! The otter is winking!)

Kafka Streams has officially come to Bluesky! Follow this account for updates on everything Kafka Streams and keep up to date with new features, bug fixes, and upcoming KIPs. Long live the otter!

Apache Kafka 3.7.2 was released! x.com/apachekafka/...

🥳 KIP-1071 was accepted by the Apache Kafka community! 🥳 Exciting! bsky.app/profile/brun...

KIP-1104 is completed. It closes such an obvious gap in the FK-join API that I am wondering why it was not done this way in the first place... (and why did it not come up much earlier?) Well, we will have it with upcoming 4.0 release. Better now than never. cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...

Maybe the biggest KIP we ever did for KS?

We opened the voting for KIP-1071 (cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x...) that proposes to introduce a Streams-specific rebalance protocol to Apache Kafka. Reminder: You do not need to be a committer or PMC member to discuss and vote on KIPs. You just need to be interested and kind 🙂.

The thread below seemed to resonate! For developers building new types of applications on Kafka, I think Kafka Streams is the best available technology. This is largely due to its embedded form factor: developers want to build apps, they don't want to manage clusters! (1/4)

Welcome @ableegoldman.bsky.social to BlueSky! Kafka Streams extraordinaire!

Another new KIP. Would you find this useful? cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...

New KIP alert. Very interesting idea! cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...
