@AneeshBabu KRaft mode in 3.1 is still “PREVIEW AND SHOULD NOT BE USED IN PRODUCTION”, see documentation here including links to currently missing features and Kafka Raft metadata mode: kafka/README.md at 26f1c5f91e6d479889dfe5a897ae2de96c576ec0 · apache/kafka · GitHub

@AneeshBabu Apache Kafka 3.1 is an official release and production ready. My quote above is specific to “KRaft Mode” only.
