Released From the Cage: Apache Kafka Without Its ZooKeeper

Mon, 05 Aug 2024 17:00:57 +0000

For years, Apache Kafka relied on Apache ZooKeeper for maintaining its metadata and coordination. But that is coming to an end. After a lot of work in the Apache Kafka community, ZooKeeper is going away from Apache Kafka and it will be replaced with its own Raft-inspired implementation called KRaft. This is a major architecture change for all Kafka users, including those running Kafka on Kubernetes. And it also affects projects such as Strimzi that provide tooling for running Apache Kafka on Kubernetes. So, how does it work? What are the advantages? What does this change mean for the existing ZooKeeper-based Kafka clusters? What are the main challenges and limitations when using Kraft on Kubernetes? What are the changes we had to make in the Strimzi project to make it ready for KRaft? All of this was answered in this talk including a short demo of what Strimzi support for KRaft looks like.

Persistent Disk or StatefulSet?

Tue, 08 Feb 2022 14:28:15 +0000

There is confusion amongst Kubernetes users as to when one should make a Deployment with a PVC and when they should use a StatefulSet with a PVC. There is also a general lack of understanding when it comes to disk access policies, what RWO/RWX means, and what they allow you to do. These concepts are complicated and require a deep level of understanding in order to avoid users making bad decisions that they come to regret later.

From Enemy to Evangelist of Stateful Workloads on Kubernetes

Tue, 01 Feb 2022 16:28:24 +0000

How to Deploy PostgreSQL On Kubernetes Using OpenEBS

Thu, 09 Sep 2021 10:07:58 +0000

An Object-Relational Database (ORD) combines both entity-relationship modeling, and object-oriented mapping techniques to enable the efficient organization of data from a limited set of data types. As a result, this database model is often referred to as an intermediate solution between object-oriented and relational databases. Using Object-Relational Database Management Systems (ORDBMS), organizations can implement inheritance, enable complex data types that enable useful data manipulation, and extend existing data models.

Why you should be deploying Postgres primarily on Kubernetes

Thu, 02 Sep 2021 16:19:31 +0000

Running a Postgres installation, with or without containers, is trivial. However, setting up a production environment is a whole different matter. Postgres is not by itself a production-ready software: it requires a set of side tools to complement its functionality: connection pooling, monitoring, backup tools, high availability software, you name it. This is called the “Stack Problem”. This brief talk discusses the Stack Problem, understanding how Kubernetes is the platform that best solves it, and what the main advantages (and disadvantages!) are of running Postgres on Kubernetes.

Explanation of NVMe for Everyone

Wed, 19 May 2021 19:00:17 +0000

I was talking to a friend recently about his computer build and one thing struck me. He had bought an NVMe drive not because he knew what it was or how it differed from anything else but because he felt overwhelmed by information when trying to research it. Due to this he just made his purchase based on the advice of a popular youtube channel. Working with storage professionally I was a bit taken aback by the lack of simple, plain english, easily accessible information on what the actual differences are. This blog is going to be my effort to clear the air and provide the layman’s guide to understanding what NVMe is as a technology and why it matters to you. This should be applicable all the way from DIY computer builders people setting up enterprise architectures.
