It makes you wonder why don’t take them more seriously, right?
In this session, you will learn about the game-changing KIP-714, which allows you to pull client metrics using OpenTelemetry, simplifying your observability strategy. Unlock the full potential of Kafka by treating your clients as symbionts and elevate your observability game to new heights. Don’t miss this opportunity to harness the hidden power of Kafka’s client APIs.
