I am excited to speak at #Current2024 (https://lnkd.in/giQ39x8W) in the Meetup Hub on Wed Sep 18, 3:15 PM - 4:00 PM CDT.
Thanks, Confluent for selecting me to speak in the meetup hub. This is my first 'meetup-hub' session. Come and see various techniques to improve your developer ecosystem. My presentation is titled "Supercharge your Kafka Development with an Optimized Local Environment". At Kinetic Edge, our goal is to help development teams build high-quality real-time applications. A solid local ecosystem integrated with the client's existing practices helps.
One of the items I will discuss is Z-Shell auto-complete functions for #ApacheKafka CLI. Are you tired of fumbling through CLI options? See how these Z-Shell autocomplete routines can help.
A major component of the Z-Shell auto-complete functions is selecting topics and groups from the Z-Shell "drop-down" list. This weekend I worked on making those auto-complete operations faster. I wrote a custom Java CLI for listing topics and consumer groups, and then used GraalVM to compile a native binary of this small CLI utility. Autocomplete is now super-fast, and I'm excited to share.
Last week, while stuck at an airport, I worked on my Docker/Kubernetes Kind configuration where I could mount a local filesystem for Connector Plugins. No extending docker images, and no running confluent-hub on every start of the Connect cluster.
Questions are encouraged, as they will drive the content and demo.
A GitHub repo will be shared with everything covered.
