Awesome blog post on the art of naming Kafka topics.

Any design patterns for blue/green Kafka deployments with minimal disruption to consumer applications Apache Kafka Confluent #apachekafka

There is still a lot of nervousness around running Kafka on Kubernetes. I'm happy to hear the experts weighing in on the matter.

Any laptop recommendations for running Ubuntu for dev work? I'm currently using a Macbook and the keyboard still feels awkward and annoying 😐

How to become expert at thing: 1 iteratively take on concrete projects and accomplish them depth wise, learning “on demand” (ie don’t learn bottom up breadth wise) 2 teach/summarize everything you learn in your own words 3 only compare yourself to younger you, never to others

If you build streaming services based on Change Data Capture (CDC), how do you ensure an upstream DB migration doesn't break the downstream consumer logic? Seems like domain events create a more decoupled architecture, what am I missing? debezium.io/blog/2020/02/1…

When using Kafka for event driven architecture and Kafka is a shared service between multiple teams/services, how do you define ownership?

"This commit allows to optimize performance by providing a new optional mode of TLS sendfile(), in which the extra copy is skipped. Removing this copy improves performance significantly, as TLS and TCP sendfile perform the same operations" git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/…

Any presentations or blog posts that do a deep dive comparison between Apache Flink and Kafka streams/ksqlDB? So far, here is what I've found: developer.confluent.io/podcast/flink-…

Anyone know if there is some upcoming training with #ApacheFlink?

Andrej Karpathy is a legendary researcher who helped start OpenAI and created Stanford's first deep learning class. Andrej Karpathy's advice on how to learn AI: (1) 10,000 hours of deliberate practice will make you an expert. You can iterate as you work. Only compare yourself to the

TIL about Apache Ozone. Been thinking about a generalized implementation of Raft to pair with S3 similar to Neon’s Paxos layer. Ozone is the closest I’ve seen. This without the Hadoop cruft would enable more infra to run directly on S3. /ht aw ozone.apache.org/docs/1.3.0/con…

I'm looking forward to these new features in 0.11 x.com/jakekorab/stat…

This is great, more Kafka Jeopardy please :-) x.com/gwenshap/statu…

Don't miss #KafkaSummit SF on Aug 28! Terra will share how Blizzard Entertainment uses Apache Kafka to save their pipeline. ow.ly/pWdw30dLs20

In microservice architectures, would you ever put Kafka in the request path of the service/client? Apache Kafka What's the DDD approach?

Learned a lot about Apache Kafka and Kafka Streams tonight, thanks to Mike Trienis and Yaroslav Tkachenko ! (at Demonware Vancouver)
