David Kjerrumgaard and I wrote up the following KIP for Kafka Quality of Service (QoS). It would be a mechanism to describe desired behaviors and actual capabilities of producers, clusters and consumers, and to allow them to negotiate desired throughputs, latencies, data retention, and other elements of data streaming. It would also provide instrumentality for observability to measure actual performance to compare to desired performance.
Would love to hear frank and thoughtful feedback, as well as committers who would be interested in working on implementation. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-1182%3A+Quality+of+Service+%28QoS%29+Framework -- [image: StarTree] <https://startree.ai> Peter Corless Director of Product Marketing 650-906-3134 Follow us: [image: LinkedIn] <https://www.linkedin.com/in/petercorless/>[image: Twitter] <https://twitter.com/petercorless>[image: Slack] <https://stree.ai/slack>[image: YouTube] <https://youtube.com/StarTreeData>[image: Calendly] <https://calendly.com/peter-corless/30min> [image: Save my spot for Real-Time Analytics Summit 2025] <https://rtasummit.startree.ai/?utm_source=referral&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=signature>
