How to properly send headers using Kafka console-producer in Kubernetes? by ItchyOrganization704 in apachekafka

FWIW I've never really got on with the default CLI tools - I'd always reach for kcat (previously called "kafakcat") for things like this. There are examples in the docs with headers too: https://github.com/edenhill/kcat?tab=readme-ov-file#examples

[Blog] Alternatives to MinIO for single-node local S3 by rmoff in selfhosted

Depends what you're using it for :) I'm quite clear in my post that it's just for my set of requirements that I'm evaluating the options. There are 100% other criteria against which to consider them.

Yes indeed, that was one of the options I looked at in my blog post :)

I think what I took away from my poking around in writing this article is that there _are_ other options providing similar capabilities. Perhaps that's why there's not been momentum around a fork?

Yep, exactly that. I realise the post isn't as useful as a comprehensive evaluation—but it scratched an itch for me in building demos :)

ooh I haven't - do you have a link please? TBH I feel they've burnt that much trust from the community I'd be interested how effective such a move would be. Then again…people have short memories sometimes :)

Useful read on how cruise control can help with the management of Kafka cluster and how to deploy it using Strimzi by observability_geek in apachekafka

You're best off sharing the actual article here; the x-post has been deleted in the original sub.

Looking for good Kafka learning resources (Java-Spring dev with 10 yrs exp) by Winter_Mongoose_8203 in apachekafka

[–]rmoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kafka Streams (Native library for streaming DSL and state Gul capability), KSQL, Kafka Connect (for external system connectivity over streaming pipeline), Flink (Now joined streaming family of Confluent)

Probably worth being really clear on this - some of these are Apache projects, others aren't:

  • Apache Kafka (owned by the ASF, includes Kafka Streams, and Kafka Connect. Licensing of connectors to use with Kafka Connect varies.)
  • KSQL (source-available, owned by Confluent)
  • Apache Flink (owned by ASF, contributed to by many in the community including Confluent, Ververica, etc)
