How to protect yourself from
a Kafka Connector storm?

It’s Friday, it’s 3pm, and you are hoping for a quiet start to the weekend. You receive a call: Looks like some clients can’t connect to Kafka, but the infrastructure seems healthy and operational. After some time, the list of clients affected is growing and growing, but everything seems to be stable at a glance. What’s going on?

In this 30 minute talk, Rafael Garcia, Platform Engineer at Adidas covers how you can approach failures like this, and how to prevent them from happening in the first place:

  • Root cause analysis
  • Blast radius
  • Key metrics to monitor
  • Counter measurements and remediations.

Speaker: Jose Rafael Garcia, Platform Engineer - Adidas
