Kafka Tiered Storage in depth: How Reads and Deletes Flow (Prefetching, Caching)

May 2, 2025 By Stanislav Kozlovski In Aiven
In this article, we will be continuing our series of deep dives into KIP-405. Previously, we covered: Now, we turn our attention to the internals of the read and delete paths. Just like we did for the write and metadata, here we will also be focusing on Aiven’s battle-tested Apache-licensed KIP-405 plugin. What makes the read path particularly interesting is how it delivers latency comparable to local disk or memory systems despite leveraging external object storage—let's dive in!

Manufacturers are under pressure to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and future-proof their factories. Rising costs, global competition, and shifting customer expectations mean that even small inefficiencies can lead to lost revenue or market share. This is difficult while using legacy systems that limit visibility and adaptability. These outdated systems often operate in silos, making it hard to access real-time data, respond to unexpected issues, or scale with modern technologies.

The Hitchhiker's guide to Diskless Kafka

Apr 23, 2025 By Filip Yonov In Aiven
KIP-1150 isn’t a distant, strange planet; it just reroutes Kafka’s entire replication pathway from broker disks to cloud object storage. Flip one topic flag and your data bypasses local drives altogether: Because Diskless is built into Kafka (no client changes, no forks), we had to solve a 4D puzzle: How do you make a Diskless topic behave exactly like a Kafka one—inside the same cluster—without rewriting Kafka?
