Featured Talk

Observability Made Easy: Unlocking Kafka Client Insights with KIP-714
Speaker: Florent Ramière, Head of R&D, Conduktor

Apache Kafka powers today’s most advanced data streaming architectures—but visibility into your Kafka clients has always been limited. KIP-714 changes that, offering a powerful and standardized way to expose client-side metrics.

In this session, Florent will break down:
✅ Why KIP-714 is essential for production-grade systems
✅ How it integrates with OpenTelemetry and modern observability tools
✅ Real-world use cases for debugging, tuning, and SLA monitoring
✅ A live demo connecting Kafka clients to your telemetry stack

You’ll walk away with practical knowledge to make your systems more transparent, reliable, and easy to debug—no deep Kafka internals knowledge needed.
