Almost overnight, AI has rewritten the modern tech stack. At the top of the stack, Cursor, CoPilot, and Claude can now be found in most developer IDEs. At the bottom, foundational models like o1, Llama, and Gemini increasingly power backend business logic. What does that mean for everything else in the middle, like developer tools? And what does that especially mean for developers who need to be productive in managing, operating, and testing Kafka and its applications? Whether you use Flink, Confluent, WarpStream, or whatever else, attendees of this talk will learn an approach to Kafka tooling that balances short-term AI gains with long-term engineering best practices.
