Protecting Tenant Performance in Multi-Tenant Kafka w/ Anna Povzner | Bay Area Apache Kafka® Meetup

Deploying Kafka to support multiple teams or even an entire company has many benefits. It reduces operational costs, simplifies onboarding of new applications as your adoption grows, and consolidates all your data in one place. However, this makes applications sharing the cluster vulnerable to any one or few of them taking all cluster resources. The combined cluster load also becomes less predictable, increasing the risk of overloading the cluster and data unavailability.In this talk, we will describe how to use quota framework in Apache Kafka to ensure that a misconfigured client or unexpected increase in client load does not monopolize broker resources. You will get a deeper understanding of bandwidth and request quotas, how they get enforced, and gain intuition for setting the limits for your use-cases.
