So exciting to see Google releasing an architecture diagramming tool built on-top of Excalidraw! cloud.google.com/blog/topics/de…

Stumbled upon github.com/redpanda-data/… today. Probably the best open-source Kafka UI at the moment.

My personal highlight for this Console release is the new ACL view. Understanding and managing #kafka ACLs has never been easier.

Redpanda Open House keynotes are here! Hear from Kelsey Hightower, Joe Reis and @doctorhousley (authors of best-selling Fundamentals of Data Engineering) and our own 🕺💃🤟 Alexander Gallego! Nov 15, 8am - 1pm PT. Register today! #kafka #developers #dataengineering rpnda.co/3SBfzwJ

If performance is not one of your primary concerns, resource costs probably is. Good news is Redpanda outperforms Apache Kafka for both performance and resource efficiency and on top is simpler to operate. Never trust a benchmark you haven’t faked yourself - so please try!

Redpanda Console v2.2 release is out🔥 🚀My personal highlights: - New visual theme - New overview screen with broker/cluster health checks (looking at metadata via Kafka API) - Editing topic configs Give it a shot! github.com/redpanda-data/…

Good read on logging solutions at ZeroDha. It’s impressive what they have built with such a small team and they also maintain and sponsor open source projects 🤝

🚨BREAKING NEWS: #Redpanda has raised $100M in Series C funding, led by @LightspeedVP, GV, and @HaystackVC! Our team is dedicated to enabling #data-intensive apps with new foundational capabilities beyond the scope of legacy #streamingdata platforms. rpnda.co/46n3P8V

Excited about this! I am convinced that this will impact the entire Kafka ecosystem beyond just Redpanda in a positive way. Lots of work still ahead, but it feels so good to take part of designing an alternative to Kafka Connect. The DevEx will become much better in this space!
