When Apache Kafka fails, it fails big — and the business impact is often immediate and severe. The consequences go beyond underperformance; misconfigured Kafka implementations can lead to security breaches, system outages, and significant operational disruption, bringing your entire streaming data infrastructure to a halt.
As some teams have learned the hard way, maintaining a stable, high-performance Kafka environment demands a high level of expertise and ongoing “care and feeding.” It’s essential for companies that depend on their streaming data pipelines for revenue to understand how to monitor their deployments, scale and upgrade strategically, and avoid Kafka mistakes that could be catastrophic.
