[Webinar] Build Your GenAI Stack with Confluent and AWS | Register Now
After months of testing efforts and seven voting rounds, Apache Kafka 0.10.0 and the corresponding Confluent Platform 3.0 have been finally released, cheers!
We are proud to announce the release of Apache Kafka 3.9.0. This is a major release, the final one in the 3.x line. This will also be the final major release to feature the deprecated Apache ZooKeeper® mode. Starting in 4.0 and later, Kafka will always run without ZooKeeper.
In this third installment of a blog series examining Kafka Producer and Consumer Internals, we switch our attention to Kafka consumer clients, examining how consumers interact with brokers, coordinate their partitions, and send requests to read data from Kafka topics.
