Presentation with Q&A
4:00pm-5:00pm: Previewing KIP-932 - Queues for Apache Kafka® with Sandon Jacobs, Senior Developer Advocate, Confluent

Abstract:
Apache Kafka® has achieved great success as a highly scalable event-streaming platform. Consumer groups assign partitions to members of the group, providing a powerful combination of ordering and scalability. But how can we scale the consumers in a group beyond the number of partitions of a topic?

Enter KIP-932 - aka “Queues for Kafka” - enabling multiple consumers in the group to process from the same topic-partition. In this session we’ll explore how shared groups provide better support for transactional workloads, load balancing, and event ordering, all while leveraging Kafka’s scalability and durability features. We’ll discuss how shared groups differ from classic consumer groups and when to use them. What better way to do this than actually looking at code? Let’s do that.

Shared groups make Kafka an even stronger alternative to traditional message brokers. Kafka veterans and beginners alike will find this session of interest, prompting you to rethink event processing.
