Republished: 15 Kafka Streams deep dives from the Responsive archive developer.confluent.io/blog/…
Woot, woot! 🎉
"Current San Francisco 2026: Your session has been accepted!"
Excited to share the stage with @lucasbrut to talk about "Keeping the Balance with Kafka Streams" (KIP-1071), ie, how we are going to support warmup tasks and are building high-availability features.

End if an era…
After almost 12 years, I’ll be stepping back from my role at @confluentinc and handing over the reins to our Chief Product Officer @ShaunMClowes. Confluent was founded to change how companies use data, and against all odds, it has. And we’re not done! There is an ambitious roadmap for what’s next and I’ll watch from the sidelines with a lot of pride and a little FOMO as the team achieves that. I couldn’t be more grateful to all the customers who have built with us, investors who bet on us, and most of all to all the people who joined to do the hard work of making Confluent what it is. Thank you!
Another very interesting episode on @thegeeknarrator
Curious to see how AI will change software engineering in the next 10+ years.

I second this, and in a positive way!
It is super helpful on PR reviews, and I could file a bunch of new Jiras because of it.
Why do I always find more stuff that should be done when digging around in the code base?

Feature freeze approaching… the same procedure as every release.
Why do we not get better at this?

Critical broker side fix for the new „streams“ groups.
If you did hold back so far, it’s time to upgrade and adopt now!
We are also excited about the 4.2.1 bug-fix release. It contains a couple of critical fixes!
Thanks to all contributors and our RM @FrankYangTW.
