Ask Confluent #15: Attack of the Zombie Controller

Gwen Shapira (Core Kafka Software Engineer, Confluent) sits down to answer the questions you've had about event streaming, Apache Kafka®, Confluent, and everything in between. This includes creating tables in nested JSON topics, how to balance ordering, latency and reliability, building event-based systems, and how to navigate the tricky endOffsets API. She talks about the hardships of fencing Zombie requests, some of the talks given at previous Kafka Summits, and an important question from Ask Confluent #3. EPISODE LINKSKIP-91: Provide Intuitive User Timeouts in The ProducerKIP-79: ListOffsetRequest/ListOffsetResponse v1 and add timestamp search methods to the new consumerKSQL recipe on creating tables in a nested JSON topicData Wrangling with Apache Kafka and KSQLStruct (Nested Data) | Level Up Your KSQLKafka Summit 2018 Keynote (Experimentation Using Event-Based Systems)Apache Kafka 2.3endOffsets documentationJun Rao, Confluent - Kafka Controller: A Deep DiveConfluent Platform 5.3Kafka Summit 2017 Keynote (Go Against the Flow: Databases and Stream Processing)The Event Streaming Platform ExplainedWatch the video version of this podcastJoin the Confluent Community SlackSEASON 2 Hosted by Tim Berglund, Adi Polak and Viktor Gamov Produced and Edited by Noelle Gallagher, Peter Furia and Nurie Mohamed Music by Coastal Kites Artwork by Phil Vo  🎧 Subscribe to Confluent Developer wherever you listen to podcasts. ▶️ Subscribe on YouTube, and hit the 🔔 to catch new episodes.👍 If you enjoyed this, please leave us a rating. 🎧 Confluent also has a podcast for tech leaders: "Life Is But A Stream" hosted by our friend, Joseph Morais.
