Title:
How much Kafka do you need? The art and science of capacity planning

Abstract:
No matter if you are new to Apache Kafka or an experienced expert, capacity planning questions seem to show up at every step of the adoption journey. Architects and developers need to know how many topics, how many partitions, what are the right message sizes and how to plan to scale. Operations teams need to know how many brokers, which hardware and even how many clusters are required. In a short talk that will attempt to cover lots of ground, we’ll go over the basics of planning Kafka deployments.
