Here's my first trip to the lightboard, where I discuss KIP-932. #apachekafka #eventstreaming

@sandonjacobs.bsky.social is back at the lightboard to introduce KIP-932 - “Queues for Kafka,” unpacking how this new cooperative consumption model enables consumer scaling beyond traditional partition limits via message-level acknowledgement. Watch it here 👉 https://cnfl.io/4956fwe

This one is a "home game" for me. @allthingsopen.bsky.social is a great event that I've had the privilege to attend many times. Looking forward to working with my teammate @olenakutsenko.bsky.social as a presenter. #RaleighNC #OpenSource #allthingsopen
