Talk:
Create your Kafka setup with zookeeper and KRaft (Hands-on)

Abstract:
In this session, we’ll take a practical tour of Kafka internals—focusing on how brokers, producers, and consumers actually work under the hood—before rolling up our sleeves for a hands‑on setup. You’ll learn how to spin up a single-node Kafka environment with zookeeper for quick test use case on your local machine and then build out a three-controllers four brokers Kafka cluster with KRaft step by step, so you can confidently reproduce a real-world Kafka setup on your own machine.
