New blog post alert! My colleague Alieh Saeedi digs into the guts of manual consumer offset commits, and the improvements of KIP-1094 (AK 4.0) about it.

Outstanding work!

Enjoy the read and change your code. You most likely do it wrong right now!

Proud to have contributed formal verification (TLA+) for three key improvements in Kafka 4.0:

✅ KIP-966: Strengthens the replication protocol.
✅ KIP-996: Introduces PreVote for more stable KRaft leadership.
✅ KIP-848: Delivers more efficient, predictable rebalancing.
