Contributing to Apache Kafka: How to Write a KIP

May 16, 2024 By Lucia Cerchie In Confluent
I’m brand new to writing KIPs (Kafka Improvement Proposals). I’ve written two so far, and my hands sweat every time I hit send on an email with ‘ KIP’ in the title. But I’ve also learned a lot from the process: about Apache Kafka internals, the process of writing KIPs, the Kafka community, and the most important motivation for developing software: our end users. What did I actually write? Let’s review KIP-941 and KIP-1020.

Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) vs Request/Response (RR)

In this video, Adam Bellemare compares and contrasts Event-Driven and Request-Driven Architectures to give you a better idea of the tradeoffs and benefits involved with each. Many developers start in the synchronous request-response (RR) world, using REST and RPC to build inter-service communications. But tight service-to-service coupling, scalability, fan-out sensitivity, and data access issues can still remain.
