While we are waiting for Apache Kafka 4.1.0 release, the development does not stop. We just completed KIP-1034 (cwiki.apache.org/confluence/d...) which adds a DLQ feature to Kafka Streams. Very exciting!

Apache Kafka 4.0 was released recently. We got a couple of a cool KIPs shipped.
KIP-1065: cwiki.apache.org/confluence/p...
The ProductionExceptionHandler becomes more flexible. It’s now also called for retriable errors. This allows you to break (previously infinite) retry loops.

@intellijidea.com's IDE has a great Apache Kafka plugin.
This is a @kafkastreams.bsky.social's session window changelog topic -- maybe I can figure out how to get support natively for Kafka Stream windowing keys.

Writing and a running a Kafka Streams app can be trickier than you'd think! We have some basic examples in the repo but they don't cover everything. Glad to have more material focused on helping new people get into Kafka Streams!
Next entry in the Kafka Streams 101 series: application lifecycle.
Very beginner friendly, but even the pros might find a useful tip or two -- for example: have you heard of the new standby task listener?

It was an outstanding community effort and huge win!
We merged 36 PRs from 14 different contributors, removing 13K LOC.
