Talk:
Kafka Client Observability Made Easy: KIP-714 in Action

Abstract:
Achieving true end-to-end observability in real-time data streaming isn’t just a “nice to have”—it’s essential for reliable and efficient Kafka operations at scale. With the arrival of KIP-714, teams can now access standardized and comprehensive client-side metrics, finally shedding light on what’s happening inside Kafka clients—not just brokers.

In this session, you’ll learn how to combine KIP-714-enabled client metrics with traditional broker-level monitoring to create a unified, 360-degree view of your entire streaming infrastructure. We’ll show how this unified telemetry makes it dramatically easier to pinpoint issues, understand system health, and take action—no guesswork required.
We'll walk through practical, real-world examples and a live demo using open-source tools, showcasing how easy it is to connect Kafka clients to your telemetry pipelines.
Whether you’re an engineer, SRE, or architect, you’ll walk away with practical knowledge on leveraging KIP-714 to make your Kafka-powered systems more transparent, resilient, and debuggable.
