Description
As an experiment, we've forked Kafka to introduce infinite partitions, topic views, multi-tenancy at the core and more. We want to share what we tried, what failed, what was more complex than expected, and how to deal with Kafka internals. At Conduktor, we've spent years building and running an enterprise Kafka proxy so we are we've come to master the Kafka protocol. Come join this geeky session if you dare!
