Talk:
Kafka Client Observability Made Easy: KIP-714 in Action
Abstract:
Achieving true end-to-end observability in real-time data streaming isn't just a "nice to have"—it's essential for reliable and efficient Kafka operations at scale. With the arrival of KIP-714, teams can now access standardized and comprehensive client-side metrics, finally shedding light on what's happening inside Kafka clients—not just brokers. In this session, you'll learn how to combine KIP-714-enabled client metrics with traditional broker-level monitoring to create a unified, 360-degree view of your entire streaming infrastructure. We'll show how this unified telemetry makes it dramatically easier to pinpoint issues, understand system health, and take action—no guesswork required. We'll walk through practical, real-world examples and a live demo using open-source tools, showcasing how easy it is to connect Kafka clients to your telemetry pipelines. Whether you're an engineer, SRE, or architect, you'll walk away with practical knowledge on leveraging KIP-714 to make your Kafka-powered systems more transparent, resilient, and debuggable.

MCP Server for Kafka
Abstract:
This talk will introduce you to MCP Server and its role in the Agentic world. We will then specifically look into MCP Server for Kafka, how you can integrate it and a hands-on demonstrating an open source MCP server interacting with Kafka. With MCP Server for Kafka, not only can you query the existing Kafka cluster details, but also take actions like creating a topic and producing message to a topic.
