Eduwer Speaks at Kafka Summit London

On March 19, 2024, Eduwer Camacaro (our Tech Lead for the Open-Source LittleHorse Kernel) spoke at Kafka Summit London to discuss why and how he introduced Kafka Improvement Proposal 988 to the Apache Kafka Community.

Kafka Streams relies on state restoration for maintaining standby tasks as failure recovery mechanism as well as for restoring the state after rebalance scenarios. When you are scaling up or down your application instances, it is necessary to know the current state of the restoration process for each active and standby task in order to prevent a long restoration process as much as possible. During this presentation, you will get an understanding of how KIP-869 provides valuable information about the current active task restoration after a rebalance and KIP-988 opens a window to the continuous process of standby restoration. When you encounter a situation in which you need to choose whether or not to scale up or down your application instances, both KIPs will be an invaluable ally for you.
