A unique write-up that dives into Uber’s specific Kafka use cases. Definitely worth a read for anyone who’s curious about how to handle partition scalability and head-of-line-blocking in one of the world’s largest deployments of Kafka!
In my last role as a developer using Kafka, we encountered similar problems, so it’s interesting to see how other companies handle these hurdles.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
