A noncommercial corner of the internet about Apache Kafka — the writing it provokes and the open source it inspires. We work on it after hours, for the love of it.

Monedula is the genus name of the jackdaw — the small, sociable corvid that watches, remembers, and turns up where things are happening. It's also a quiet nod to Apache Kafka: Franz Kafka's surname comes from the Czech kavka — the jackdaw — so the same bird is hiding in the streaming platform's name too.

Years of Apache Kafka in common — Confluent deliveries into large banks and public institutions, with the consulting, training, and support engagements that grew up around them.
