Claude, "We all know among Sauron's many evils was that he ran Mordor using an Excel spreadsheet with multiple tabs. Show me the spreadsheet" It made 12 tabs "so bureaucratically complex that even the Eye of Sauron would need reading glasses to review it." Some very funny stuff. Creative, even.

CYOK in streaming means: Create your own Kafka: - LinkedIn - Creating Northguard. - www.linkedin.com/blog/enginee... - The creators of Kafka creates a better Kafka - DataDog - Uses their home made Kafka - x.com/BdKozlovski/... You just need to CYOK to use it.

Neng from StreamNative answer to this post x.com/BdKozlovski/... from @BdKozlovski here linkedin.com/posts/neng-l... The critical points are that Pulsar support a lot of the changes included by OpenAI to solve the architecture problems that Kafka doesn't resolve by itself Quote

The URL used had the path /management/heapdump, possibly a Spring Boot app. I never imagined that my contribution github.com/spring-proje... in 2016 would result in this disaster 9 years later. In Spring Boot, you should set management.server.port and never expose management endpoints externally.

I have to update my CV. - International (virtual) speaker. I feel honored (and afraid, as it is my first time). I hope I can open some eyes about the Apache Kafka API. In any case, there will be other really interesting talks, too (Uber, Netflix, AWS, etc). events.zoom.us/ev/ArZEA9V8F...

I will present at the DataStreaming Summit 2025 - Apache Kafka API: The Unofficial Standard for Streaming? Getting out of my cave, as it's public. datastreaming-summit.org/event/data-s...

Whoa, are you telling me that the last random thing that happened in the world totally validated all of your ideological priors. Again!? You are such an insightful fact-driven person!

Overstatement from AWS and Brokers express - aws.amazon.com/blogs/big-da... "scaling operation completed smoothly, with partition rebalancing occurring rapidly across all six brokers while maintaining uninterrupted producer traffic." I see a "slight" reduction in traffic from 320Mbps to 250Mbps

I'm really shock. Aiven prepare a nice post aiven.io/blog/16-ways... by Stanislav Kozlovski And it is cool to have a broker down 2 minutes or 1 hour to add a broker Both can be done in Apache Pulsar in seconds.

Very good video for understanding Apache Iceberg from @thedanicafine.bsky.social ftp.fau.de/fosdem/2025/...

love that XKCD comic

Kafka streaming at scale doesn't have to break the bank! 🚀 Benchmark results show Ursa runs at just $54/hour—95% lower cost than Redpanda ($988/hour) and MSK ($303/hour) is 5.6x more expensive than Ursa. 🔗 hubs.ly/Q034V0Vt0 #Kafka #DataStreaming #AI #CostEfficiency #Cloud From x.com/streamnative...

I think this meetup will be interesting - lu.ma/u1xq8c5t?tk=... I have registered my self to get access for the videos.

Interesting thoughts - materializedview.io/p/ce-nest-pa... > Kafka is now a protocol, not an Apache project. > Confluent, themselves, think about Kafka this way: >> Just like the Apache Kafka API has evolved to be the de facto open standard for data streaming, Thanks @chris.blue

The New York Times reports that Trump is making the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board de facto inoperable. This punches the first major hole in EU-US data transfers agreement (TADPF). Using US Cloud providers could quickly violate the GDPR.
