You might think Kafka just pushes messages to consumers, but it’s more of a sneakily elegant pull-based operation. This week, I dived into the nitty-gritty of how consumer groups actually communicate with brokers, detect rebalances, and handle those “uh-oh” moments (like crashes and network hiccups). If you’re building real-time systems, you’ll want to look at this— a lot under the hood might surprise you. Check it out, and let me know your thoughts!
You are making it more difficult to ask questions Oskar, not fair :) Once again great article, very detailed and understandable. Do you have any official way of requesting future topics to cover? Do members vote or sth.
Officially not, but I could think about some Trello board. Usually, topics are either triggered by my work or discussions with other people. If you're on Discord for subscribers, you can ask there, if not ping me on e-mail and I'll resend the invitation 🙂
