The 2025 blog post series has begun and we're kicking things off with the "official" Kafka Streams upgrade-guide -- check it out for best practices when setting up a new app, rules for safe vs unsafe upgrades, and tips for making the process go smoothly: www.responsive.dev/blog/topolog...

Thanks everyone for all the feedback on blog post ideas! Performance and upgrades were most popular so stay tuned for these deep dives - for beginners and advanced users alike

But now it's 2025, and time for me to think about what to write next...
