Grab your cup and prepare to Get Kafka-Nated! In this series, we’ll be digging into everything Apache Kafka, from the pre-history of Kafka to the latest Kafka Improvement Proposal (KIP). We’ll be joined by a range of guests who have been at the forefront of Kafka for many years.

In this episode of Pastries and SREs, we take a sweet dive into one of the most exciting evolutions in observability: enriched logs, also known as wide events. Gone are the days of toggling between tools and stitching together logs, metrics, and traces. Enriched logs consolidate the context, providing everything you need to understand and resolve issues in a single log entry. We explore.

This is the uncomfortable truth about cloud credits: Short-term savings mask crippling long-term costs. Taken from our recent webinar, Civo CCO Simon Hansford and Canopy Founder James Marks expose the primary concerns of the credit model. Credits act as a dangerous incentive for architectural laziness. When cost isn't a factor, you stop designing for efficiency, leading to bloated, inefficient infrastructure and the inevitable bill shock.

In this video, we're breaking down the complex world of Apache Kafka and showing you how to gain deep visibility into your event streaming architecture using Speedscale. Kafka is the backbone of modern, cloud-native systems, but understanding what's happening in production—which topics are receiving traffic, where messages are going, and how services are interacting can be a real challenge. We'll cover how Speedscale makes Kafka visualization and debugging simple by.
