Welcome to the February 2016 edition of Log Compaction, a monthly digest of highlights in the Apache Kafka and stream processing community. Got a newsworthy item? Let us know.
Confluent, powered by Kafka, is the real-time backbone for agentic systems built with Google Cloud. It enables agents to access fresh data (MCP) and communicate seamlessly (A2A) via a decoupled architecture. This ensures scalability, resilience, and observability for complex, intelligent workflows.
AWS Lambda's Kafka Event Source Mapping now supports Confluent Schema Registry. This update simplifies building event-driven applications by eliminating the need for custom code to deserialize Avro/Protobuf data. The integration makes it easier and more efficient to leverage Confluent Cloud.
