Should You Run Apache Kafka on Kubernetes? ft. Balthazar Rouberol
Episode description
When it comes to deploying applications at scale without needing to integrate different pieces of infrastructure yourself, the answer nowadays is increasingly Kubernetes. Kubernetes provides all the building blocks that are needed, and a lot of thought is required to truly create an enterprise-grade Apache Kafka® platform that can be used in production. But before running Kafka on Kubernetes, there are some factors to consider. What are the maturing stages of Kubernetes adoption? How did Datadog experience these stages? Balthazar Rouberol shares what to think about before hopping on Kubernetes hype train.
