Get Kafka-Nated Episode 3

Greg Harris, Staff Software Engineer and the driving force behind KIP-1150, will be joining our host Hugh Evans. We’ll be covering how KIP-1150 aims to eliminate Kafka's dependence on local disk storage entirely.

What we’ll cover:

- What diskless actually solves. For teams running Kafka in the cloud, what's the pain point that KIP-1150 addresses?
- The enormous technical challenge - essentially rerouting Kafka's entire replication pathway from broker disks to object storage.
- Looking at the broader implications - diskless topics can coexist with traditional disk-based topics in the same cluster. What does this mean for migration strategies?
- Eliminating the leadership model entirely. Greg will explain how any broker can now accept writes for any partition. What does this mean for hot partition problems?

As always we’ll offer a free coffee voucher to all attendees. Get Kafka-Nated!
