RVA Data Enthusiasts: A Kafka Producer's Request -- Danica Fine
Do you know how your data moves into your Apache Kafka instance? Danica Fine from Confluent joins us at the Richmond Data Enthusiasts Meet-Up and delivers a fantastic talk on how data flows under the hood with Kafka.
In this session, we'll dive into the world of Kafka producers to follow a request from an initial call to send(), all the way to disk and back to the client via the broker's final response. Along the way, we'll explore a number of client and broker configurations that affect how these requests are handled and discuss the metrics that you can monitor to help you to keep track of every stage of the request life cycle. By the end of this session, you'll know the ins and outs of the read and write requests that your Kafka clients make, making your next debugging or performance analysis session a breeze.
