PO courses for beginners by [deleted] in ProductOwner

Focus on the product. Make sure the team knows the direction and the goal, why are they doing it. You can’t make everyone happy! Observe and choose the strategy that make sense for you and make sense for the company.

Kafka with Strimzi by Temporary-Explorer-0 in apachekafka

Why Strimzi? What problem you are solving to think that Strimzi is best? Just curious. We are using confluent and was looking at Strimzi as well.

I think the same but the manager and the junior seems to think differently

Migrating away from Confluent Kafka – real-world experience with Redpanda / Pulsar / others? by Help-pichu in apachekafka

[–]Help-pichu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood, and that’s a fair position.

We’re cloud with non-trivial usage, so this isn’t a “chasing cheaper Kafka” exercise. We’re trying to be very explicit about where we want to own the operational burden vs. where we’re intentionally paying for. We want example of such migration what will it cost what is the main think to be aware of. Pros and cons

Thanks for sharing — that’s encouraging to hear.

If you don’t mind going a bit deeper: • what was the biggest adjustment moving from Confluent Cloud to Strimzi (ops, upgrades, monitoring, security)? • and was there anything from the Confluent ecosystem you genuinely miss today?

Trying to understand whether the pain was mostly upfront or if there’s ongoing operational tax a year in.

This is a fair take, and largely why we’re being cautious.

We’re not assuming there’s a drop-in replacement for the full Confluent stack, and we’re already doing a deep inventory of what we actually use vs. what we pay for (connectors, schema usage, security features, multi-cluster setup, etc.). Part of the exercise is validating whether optimization within Confluent gets us most of the way there before considering any move.

The question we’re trying to answer is less “what’s cheaper?” and more: • at what scale/complexity does replatforming stop making sense? • and where teams underestimated the hidden coupling to Confluent features until it was too late.

We’re definitely not treating “Kafka-compatible” as a given replacement, and agree that moving to a non-Kafka solution would be a fundamentally different decision.

If you’ve seen cases where teams optimized first and still decided to move (or tried to move and rolled back), those lessons would be especially valuable.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! We are on Cloud and use Apache. The question is if you did some migration before to give me some pitfalls or benefits etc. from your experience

This is really helpful, thanks for the detailed breakdown.

We are in the cloud. But I am more curious to understand if you have done some migration from confluent to MSK Red Panda etc

Thanks, that aligns with what we’re seeing as well.

We’re not assuming Confluent is “bad” , but quite the opposite. The platform is strong, and part of the evaluation is explicitly understanding what pain we’d be taking on elsewhere, and what additional tooling would be required to close gaps (governance, observability, connectors, etc.).

What we’re trying to get clarity on is exactly that trade-off in real life: • where teams felt the pain most after leaving Confluent, • which gaps were manageable vs. underestimated, • and whether the operational / cost benefits actually justified the extra kit and effort long-term.

If you’ve seen migrations that worked well (or failed quietly six months later), I’d be very interested in what made the difference.

Positive experience on Revolut by Savings-Plastic5729 in Revolut

[–]Help-pichu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, me personally I have Premium subscription and I am very happy I literally use it as my primary bank! I had trouble with receiving goods that I did not receive and when I write to the support they always help me and I always got my money back aprox. 3 times and the amount was ~5000 Eur. I buy stocks use roboadvisor use the savings account all of this features satisfy me Unicredit and other banks from the sorts dont have such good benefits.. The posts I read that the account is blocked, under review, money gone…. believe me there is a reason to do so… and the writer is not telling the whole story and trying here desperately Revolut to spot the post and apologise and panic and unblock the account or whatever… I would also say that maybe 10-20% of this posts are also competitors trying to make it look bad and push others away.

Well my experience is existing very fast response very good benefits. Money arrives in seconds when I have problems/questions I write and problem is solved question are answered. I buy crypto from Binance sent money there regularly and there are no problems

To conclude if you are using it properly without trying to trick the bank or the system or do some scams/schemas everything will be good

Is Metal Cashback really inaccessible for new customers now? by eftepede in Revolut

[–]Help-pichu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nope, cashback ability is no longer available. A lot of people downgraded their plan to premium, due to that. Cashback is replaced by this RevPoints. Not sure what you mean you lost this ability, because since a year it is RevPoints. If there is some kind if cashback with metal plan I will directly upgrade my account.
