RobinHood mention the are the only (probably the first ones) to use the dedicated control Plane.

If upgrades are painful (sharing them) what can happen in a connectivity outage when the CP is far.

Waching the video from Netflix about their issues with Kafka clusters escalability. I think this will become a case of CYOK and surround the Kafka clusters with a few more proxies. Let see how it finish.

It's amazing how OpenAI "uses" Kafka youtu.be/M14AaU9t92U?... at the same time that doesn't use a lot of functionality from Kafka. No partitioning and not ordering??!!

Basically, they are modifying the wheel again to adapt to their problems managing 100s of Kafka clusters

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.

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

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).

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

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.
