Factor House

The control plane for Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg.

[Factor House @factorhousehq]

Thanks to everyone who joined last night's Melbourne Apache Kafka meetup at Factor House. Karel Sague shared practical techniques for cutting Kafka costs, and Dominique Ronde from Confluent talked Kafka, Flink and GenAI. Great turnout, great questions.

@MichaelDrogalis @apachekafka Yes. Implement a custom composite serdes that is configured with a topic->type mapping, dispatch to the underlying typed-serializer based on the topic passed into the serialize method. Tx handled by the producer.

One of the many highlights of #Current23 for the Factor House team. Big, bold additions to #ApacheKafka in KIP-932 that might make a few traditionalist heads spin - we like it!

Too early to start on a queue topology view? Maybe we wait for the JIRA ticket first.

[Jack Vanlightly @vanlightly]

Queues for Kafka (KIP-932), my biggest ask for Apache Kafka since joining Confluent. Really excited about this one. It's not just queue semantics, but queues which can do replay.

[Factor House @factorhousehq]

Big news from the Factor House team!
