Hi, How are you dealing with a slow consumer in Kafka? In the best of world, each consumer will have the exact same specs and the exact same workload. But unfortunately that's rarely true: Virtual machines share hardware with other VMs, some Kafka tasks takes longer to process, some partition keys occasionally make the Kafka cluster unbalanced etc.
On a larger perspective, maybe it would be nice if a consumer group would occasionally rebalance consumers based on lag.
