Apache Kafka Consumer Evolution: KIP-848 and Beyond

The KafkaConsumer has reached a significant milestone with the 4.0 release, delivering substantial improvements.

We’ll cover the new architecture, and also go into how the new consumer will bring changes to Kafka Streams via KIP-1071.

Harnessing Apache ActiveMQ 6.x

Abstract:
After a quick reminder of what Apache ActiveMQ is, we will explore where ActiveMQ use is key in mission critical scenarios and how mixing Apache Kafka and ActiveMQ together is the perfect and multi-purpose solution. We will also see what’s coming in the ActiveMQ roadmap.
