Tidy Up Microservices Connectivity with Apache Kafka® and Kuma

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Deploys a vanilla Kafka cluster as a three-node cluster on Kubernetes using statefulsets and KIP-500 (zookeeperless) and exposes brokers via Kuma virtual outbound names such as cluster.kafka.mesh so clients get correct advertised.listeners. Data planes run Envoy sidecars providing mTLS between brokers and apps, and a Kuma traffic-logs policy captures consumer/producer activity so logs and requests are visible without changing broker code. Demo shows brokers running inside the mesh; sidecar lifecycle and graceful-shutdown hooks remain manual hacks.
