Apache Kafka® 2.5 is here, and we’ve got some Kafka Improvement Proposals (KIPs) to discuss! Tim Berglund (Senior Director of Developer Advocacy, Confluent) shares improvements and changes to over 10 KIPs all within the realm of Core Kafka, Kafka Connect, and Kafka Streams, including foundational improvements to exactly once semantics, the ability to track a connector’s active topics, and adding a new co-group operator to the Streams DSL.
