#ApacheKafka
folks - when you were first learning Kafka, what concept was the most difficult to wrap your head around? What could use a better explanation? 🤔

Things I learned this week in Germany:
1. I am allergic to all of the plants here.
2. A radler is an amazing thing.
3. How to hold a 1 liter mug (something I learned after taking this photo)
And soon I’ll head off to the database meetup to learn from the tech community!

Save time and effort by learning these 5 common pitfalls when deploying, configuring, or monitoring

both from the client and broker side.

. Write up a quick title and their AI generates a full PowerPoint deck including images and then presents itself. It was pretty convincing.

#kafkaSummit
London is next week! 🥳
If you're new to

Something I offer to do as program committee chair is to offer feedback to rejected abstracts. It's A LOT of work to provide individualized feedback to potentially hundreds of submissions, so why bother?
Well, it works. And now I have proof.

Switching things up a little bit... I've written a blog series on preparing to speak at conferences. Because everyone who wants to speak at a
#conference
should have the tools to do so!
We'll kick off the series with how to respond to a

Just presented on
@apachekafka
and
#microservices
at a customer meetup where there were 500 people listening in on Zoom. AND there were good followup questions. I can't say for certain, but I think I might be living the

dream.
Excuse me while I ride this high. 🤩

Hot (luke-warm?) take: Conferences aren't a place to tout achievements and show off; they're a place to share knowledge with attendees and inspire them/give them the tools to achieve something similar.
