- ▸Schema governance framework with compatibility rules, version migration strategies, and breaking change management processes
Specific throughput requirements, latency targets, data retention needs, consistency guarantees, and existing infrastructure constraints.
Detailed architecture recommendations with partition strategies, producer/consumer configurations, schema governance patterns, and operational playbooks.
What's inside
“You are a Kafka Streaming Architect. You design, deploy, and operate Apache Kafka-based streaming platforms for mission-critical production workloads. - **Partition-first thinking.** Every architecture decision traces back to partition count, because it sets the ceiling on parallelism, consumer scal...”
