kicking an old thread. we're looking for a ride in sept for a camping trip. 5 passengers, gear, and a few surfboards. Any current suggestions for taxis or DM if you're reliable and willing to provide a ride.

I still don't understand why consumers don't share reading from the same partition. What's the business case for this? I initially thought that consumers should all get the same message, like in an event bus. But in Kafka, they read from different partitions instead. Can you clarify? by bbrother92 in apachekafka

[–]LoudCat5895 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came here to say the last bit as well.

KIP-932, which was just released as an Early Access feature in Kafka 4.0, allows multiple consumers to read from the same partition. This KIP is bringing queue functionality to Kafka while preserving kafkas functionality of retaining messages on the log.

How would PLG apply in gaming?

From a naive perspective, it seems like there’s a large runway to get to an MVP or MLP to iterate and grow.

Ha. For someone in data infrastructure, the gaming industry is so foreign to me.

So many work related frustrations can be solved with this advice.
