@sharatchander.bsky.social Saw the best name for WiFi SID and thought of you Depeche Modem

@bengamble7.bsky.social - Watching @intellijidea.com's "Valhalla Nullness Emotion" and the talk about Collections of value classes (needing workaround to runtime erasure). Gets me to our conversations - what would it be like if Java 5 (1.5) accepted a VM change and didn't do generic erasures?

Enjoying @intellijidea.com's Conference 2025 (not able to watch most of it live, but catching a session right now). Super excited that Wrapper Classes will be Value Classes. Every time I see/hear about this. I've never liked auto-boxing; this is a major improvement. Thanks, Rémi Forax.

Looking forward to @sharatchander.bsky.social 's Keynote. Then, looking forward to hearing @gamussa.dev talking about Kafka and the Schema Registry, and then more! Java, Kafka, @kafkastreams.bsky.social, & @intellijidea.com - that's my tech stack! lp.jetbrains.com/intellij-ide... @jetbrains.com

Apache Kafka Meetup here at Target Plaza Commons. Thanks @confluent.io and Target. @sandonjacobs.bsky.social - great talk on queues (didn’t mean to use that word) for Kafka Now Target presenting 👏

I think meeup.com is a great service & I have always felt their pricing model being based on organizations vs those attending made sense. If they now want to limit attendance viewership to an attendee paid tier model; I'm ok with that too. But the constant nagware/pop-up? annoying and off-putting.

The Apache Kafka Community here in the Twin Cities is very active; attendance is tracking high during the first week of announcing this event. If you are involved with real-time event processing please check out this meetup and I hope to see you there. www.meetup.com/twincities-a...

Thank you to Neil Buesing (@nbuesing.bsky.social) for speaking at #osn2025!

I’ve already listened to Lady Gaga’s new album on Spotify (yesterday) in full. Today I get an email telling me about the new album. I would be more impressed with real-time services if they could use real-time data to NOT send me something I already obviously am aware of.

@intellijidea.com's IDE has a great Apache Kafka plugin. This is a @kafkastreams.bsky.social's session window changelog topic -- maybe I can figure out how to get support natively for Kafka Stream windowing keys.

There is just 6 hours left to submit to @confluent.bsky.social Current London 2025, the Data Streaming (formerly Kafka Summit) conference. Now, we have literally seen submissions with < 1 minute to spare -- don't be that person. sessionize.com/current-lond...

I recently discovered chrome-cli (github.com/prasmussen/c...). By also leveraging `fzf` I can now quickly close tabs by name/url. chrome-cli list tablinks | sort | fzf -m | awk -F '[][]' '{print $2}' | cut -d ':' -f 2 | xargs -I {} chrome-cli close -t {} revolutionary!

On the day I migrated a Kafka cluster to KRaft, my inbox on my work email is... 500 -- is that a sign 🤣. A sign I need to deal with junk email vs. leaving it in my inbox.

Football offsides should be if any part of you is behind the defender you are not offsides. Remains objective and more true to the spirit of the rule. Watching my two favorite Premier league teams facing each other: ARS/NFO. @nts.bsky.social - your team planning it 2 hours, watching?

@opensourcenorth.bsky.social Full house at the OSN appreciation and happy hour event this evening.

My son and I play this every day and share results. I really enjoy the weekly challenges that come out on Monday. #Travle travle.earth

when using kafka-console-consumer for analyzing messages on a topic use --key-deserializer=org.apache.kafka.common.serialization.BytesDeserializer --property print.key=true You will easily see if you put SR content into your key (unexpectantly). #ApacheKafka

It’s nice being on a platform where I’m learning stuff again.

Your puppy sleeping on you lap at 5am is very therapeutic.

If you upgrade Docker Home (at least on your Mac), kill all gradle daemon processes. I could run `docker` just fine from my shell, but I guess not from an already running gradle daemon. Caused by: IOException: Cannot run program "docker" (in directory "..."): error=2, No such file or directory.

With #ApacheKafka 4.0 coming in 2025, KIP-896 is still in the planned section of the release notes. Now is the time to find those old clients and upgrade them. cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d... cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...

I am working on dashboards around KIP-714. Building dashboards around less-frequently polling of the metrics; I now appreciate the _rate metrics with the _total. In Grafana I would do rate(..._total{}[$__rate_interval], but if I want to poll less frequently, doesn't work out so well. #ApacheKafka

On the left consumer lag as reported from the scraping metrics about the client from the client. On the right is consumer lag leveraging KIP-714, scraping metrics about the client from an OTEL collector integrated with the broker.

Working on my kafka-streams-dashboard project to showcase KIP-714 (consumer metrics) & improving sasl cluster, so I can showcase client metrics & their use of principal w/metrics. Current issue is getting librdkafka 2.6.0 client to send their metrics to the brokers 🤞. github.com/kineticedge/...

Katniss giving me some attitude.

When you refactor a KafkaStreams topology and imagine it will provide a great performance improvement, only to realize it doesn’t. Theory != Actual 🤔😔 Still cleaner to read, but is that enough to suggest the refactor?
