Today I learned abour Redpanda which is a streaming service alternative to Kafka. Redpanda has implemented its internal Raft concensus algorithm and has no Zookeeper. Redpanda is writting in C++ which make it JVM free, and more developer-friendly for non Java Devs. Redpanda is compatible with Kafka API. Redpanda laverages WASM to enable one-shot transformations. Devs can write their data transformation in any language (compilable to WASM) and compile it to WASM and run it in Redpanda....
Today I learned about the podman auto-update command. It updates all the containers managed by systemd (e.g. created by podman-generate-systemd --new) to the newest image version. More...
