Balancing Load in Kafka: Strategies for Performance Optimization

Handling real-time data at scale? Apache Kafka is likely at the heart of your system. It’s robust, fast, and highly reliable. But as Kafka clusters grow, so does the complexity of maintaining balanced workloads across brokers and partitions. Without a solid strategy for distributing that load, you’re likely to run into bottlenecks, resource exhaustion, and consumer lag—none of which are fun to deal with. So, how do you keep your Kafka setup running efficiently and smoothly?

Ask the Expert: "How Can I Put Responsible AI Into Practice?"

The ethos – and existential urgency – driving “responsible AI” policies is rooted in themes such as privacy, security, fairness, and transparency. Many headlines blur AI concepts such as machine learning, adaptive algorithms, deep learning, natural language processing, and generative AI (GenAI) technologies that are driving the current AI boom. People are worried about their data being misused, their words misconstrued, and their work misrepresented.

How the OpenTelemetry Collector Powers Data Tracing

OpenTelemetry, OTel, is an incredible open-source observability framework that helps you collect, process, and export trace data.

The OTTL Cookbook: Common Solutions to Data Transformation Problems

As our software complexity increases, so does our telemetry—and as our telemetry increases, it needs more and more tweaking en route to its final destination. You’ve likely needed to change an attribute, parse a log body, or touch up a metric before it landed in your backend of choice. At Honeycomb, we think the OpenTelemetry Collector is the perfect tool to handle data transformation in flight. The Collector can receive data, process it, and then export it wherever it needs to go.
