The Next Generation of the Consumer Rebalance Protocol is here—KIP-848 is now live in Confluent Cloud! This protocol, first available in #ApacheKafka 4.0, transforms consumer group rebalances by shifting to a server-driven, incremental approach. That means: ⏱️ No more…
Just merged my 400th commit to @apachekafka! From my first patch in 2015 to today, it’s been an incredible journey. Grateful to contribute to such a vibrant, impactful open source community. Here’s to many more!
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.
.@apachekafka 4.0 significantly streamlines the platform by replacing ZooKeeper with KRaft for default metadata management. thenewstack.io/the-new-look-a…

Apache Kafka 4.0.0 is now available for download: buff.ly/9mh76Wt An overview of the release can be found in the Kafka project's announcement blog post: buff.ly/tK9O1Za #opensource

Apache Kafka 4.0 is OUT. and Zookeeper is OUT (of Kafka). KRaft is the default in Kafka now and a bunch of other improvements and features. My favourite is Queuing support in Kafka. 🚀 I have missed this feature a lot, which has resulted in complexity, because queuing…
BYOC 🤝 Confluent 🎉We’re excited to share that we acquired @warpstream_labs! Now, our customers can get streaming data any way they need it – self-managed, fully managed, or bring your own cloud (BYOC). Get the full scoop in @jaykreps’ blog → cnfl.io/3ZjKt3o
Please welcome @lianetmagrans as our newest committer! Congrats! We are glad to have you!
ICYMI: #ApacheKafka 3.8 dropped last week, featuring 17 new KIPs! From ❤️ to Java devs to more control over compression levels, catch up on the latest and greatest in Apache Kakfa on @thenewstack. thenewstack.io/kafka-3-8-brin…
The difference between Kafka 4.0 and 3.0 will be awesome: - No ZooKeeper - Tiered Storage - New Rebalance Protocol (848) - EOS support in Connect - State Updater Thread in Streams - Improved Txn Protocol (890) - Custom Stream Task Assignment (924) #apachekafka is on a roll!
1/ There is a mini open source drama, this time because RedPanda, a company with a source-available Apache Kafka clone, bought an open source connector framework and made licensing and trademark changes to thwart other startup competition. (a thread) news.ycombinator.com/item?id=405379…
We are pleased to announce the Apache Kafka 3.7.0 release. The release includes new features, fixes, and improvements from 296 JIRAs. A big “thank you” to all 146 contributors and our RM @BdKozlovski! For details check out the release blog post: kafka.apache.org/blog#apache_ka…
I just published edition 71 of my Kafka Monthly Digest. It covers the recent releases, KIPs, community projects and blogs. Also as is customary, I review some of the milestones the #ApacheKafka project achieved in 2023 and make some predictions for 2024! developers.redhat.com/blog/2023/12/2…
Our #ApacheKafka streaming infrastructure served 29 million messages per second at peak. That’s 45% growth from 2022 – and we did it more efficiently this year with 14% fewer brokers.
The new end-to-end encryption feature is cool. Basically annotate sensitive fields in the schema registry and have the clients automatically encrypt those fields with customer-managed keys. Confluent cannot ever access that data.

Congratulations to our two newest committers, Lucas Brutschy (@lucasbrut) and Yash Mayya (github.com/yashmayya)!
The waiting is over. Apache Kafka 3.5.0 is available now, officially deprecating ZooKeeper. Thanks to all 103 contributors and our RM @MickaelMaison! For details, check out the release notes downloads.apache.org/kafka/3.5.0/RE… and blog post kafka.apache.org/blog
