Hi all!
As we all know, Apache Kafka 3.0 includes some great features – namely the introduction of Kraft metadata mode (bye-bye Zookeeper!). Although this is a new feature, you’ve been able to preview it since Apache Kafka 2.8, so I was curious to hear about everyone’s experience with this mode.
Who’s used it? What did you think? And what advice would you give to others hoping to make the move?
Hi Danica,
I’ve tested the feature on my local demo environment the last few weeks.
I really like it, works as expected and eases the initial configuration (no messing up with zookeeper, on config file and so on)
I think it’s a good time to experiment with KRaft to be ready to use it in production as soon it’s ready for production.

Would you recommend to migrate from acl to rbac , as I see no discussion on implementing replacement for zookeeper acls? What are your thoughts about this ?
With the removal of ZooKeeper, you will still be able to use ACLs with Confluent MDS ( Metadata Server ) that is a built-in component of Confluent Server.
