We are running the Confluent Kafka 6.1.2 on Kubernetes. Planning to enable Self Balancing feature and turn off the current feature ADB (Auto Data Balancer). Does anybody have any tried that feature? Any comments OR experiences are appreciated. Thx. ---

Hey IcyRoad! We currently run Self Balancing in production in Confluent Cloud (as our own self balancing mechanism) within Kubernetes. It works well for us and plays nice with Kubernetes. You can read a bit more about that here: [Making Kafka Serverless: Lessons From Confluent Cloud](https://www.confluent.io/blog/designing-an-elastic-apache-kafka-for-the-cloud/) Hopefully that gives you some peace of mind 🙂 ---
