This episode I'm joined by Omnia Ibrahim, Software Engineer at Apple and Apache Kafka Committer, to talk about what's actually broken in multi-cluster Kafka today, what KIP-1279 changes, and what teams running active-active or active-passive setups should do in the meantime.

Why Some Restaurants Dominate Social Media

Not every restaurant with excellent food becomes a social media success. Likewise, not every venue with thousands of followers necessarily serves the best meal in town.

Structured Information Architecture and Communication Logic in Corporate Websites

Corporate websites function as essential platforms for organizations to establish credibility and convey their core identity.

Designing Safe Traffic Flows for On-Premise Data Centers

On-premise data centers handle massive amounts of hardware and infrastructure. Managing the physical layout requires serious attention to movement and safety.

Clear pathways make daily operations predictable and safe for everyone on site.
