on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Explains when to use HTTP vs native Kafka clients and shows practical options: using the rest proxy to produce/consume over HTTP, automating cluster/topic/ACL ops via the Confluent Cloud REST API (launched Feb) and streaming connectors with kafka connect for CDC into topics and out to Snowflake/S3. Notes broker HTTP on port 8090, client ports 9092/9093, consumer groups for parallelism, and real customers handling 5x–15x peak traffic; zookeeper removal arrives in Kafka 2.8.
