(3/3) Application upgrades were by far the #1 requested topic when we asked what the community would like to learn about earlier this year.

We hope you find this latest post in our Kafka Streams 101 series helpful!

This will be the foundation for being able to branch @kafkastreams.bsky.social apps to support seamless blue/green deploys. It also allows you to branch a previous version of the state to debug an issue from the past.

Powerful stuff coming to the world of stream processing!
SlateDB now has clones 🤯

Users can clone an existing DB's data to a new location. It's nearly instantaneous since it references the data from the old bucket rather than copying. Writes to the clone update the new location. Compaction lazily merges old data into the new directory./ht @responsive.dev
Initial clone implementation by hachikuji · Pull Request #430 · slatedb/slatedb
Fixes #315. This patch contains the logic to create and initialize clones as outlined in RFC-0004.

Is stream processing interesting because of the new apps it enables, or because it promises better data processing?

I'm in the first camp and am proud of the major contributions Responsive has made to the application space. My reflections on what's next: www.responsive.dev/blog/respons...
Founder's Letter: Responsive and the Future of Stream Processing
A recap of all that we've built in our first 18 months as a company, and what that means for the future of stream processing.

It's said that Silicon Valley is special because the density of smart and motivated people leads to chance encounters that don't happen elsewhere.

I can attest to that.

Here's how a coffee resulted in @responsive.dev building a database optimized for stream processing in 8 months. (1/n)

Some problems are impossible to solve without stream processing: for instance, did you know that metronome.com leverages Kafka and Kafka Streams to deliver real time billing features like spend limits at scale? (1/3)

I am soon interviewing @apurvamehta.com from @responsive.dev and Yingjun Wu from @risingwave.bsky.social on all things stream processing.

This is going to be an amazing episode. Feel free to ask any questions related to Stream processing and I will add the most interesting ones. Shoot!

Small feature drop, row-level TTL for Kafka Streams:

"The ttl function can use either the key or value, or both, to compute the ttl for that row and override the default ttl. It's also possible to .. only expire specific records."

Is it end of the road for RocksDB in stream processing?

Disaggregated state is the clearly superior architecture, with @responsive.dev investing heavily in SlateDB.io while Flink 2.0 has forked RocksDB.

Here's why we've bet on SlateDB for Kafka Streams: www.responsive.dev/blog/why-sla...
If not RocksDB, then what? Why SlateDB is the right choice for Stream Processing.
Why we think SlateDB is the right foundation for a state storage service for Kafka Streams.

Great article. One additional point: if your app really needs low-latency and sophisticated responses to events, you need Kafka.

For instance, many use cases in logistics (eg. order fulfillment), fintech (trade settlement), security tech (anomaly detection) need to be event driven and need Kafka.
