This webinar focuses on practical techniques to improve throughput and latency in Apache Kafka 3.x for real‑world workloads. Attendees will learn which configuration settings matter most, how to tune producers, consumers, and brokers, and how to avoid common design anti‑patterns that quietly hurt performance.

In this session, you'll learn:

1. Kafka performance basics: Key metrics, typical bottlenecks, and how Kafka's architecture influences performance.
2. Producer tuning for throughput vs latency : Core settings for batching, acks, and compression that drive producer efficiency.
3. Consumer tuning and lag control: Essential fetch and concurrency settings plus strategies to minimize consumer lag.
4. Broker, topics, and partition design: High‑impact choices for partitions, replication, and topic design that scale.
5. Monitoring and Q&A: Key metrics to watch, quick tuning tips, and time for audience questions and troubleshooting.
