Kafka's "noisy neighbors" problem (where workloads often compete for resources) can lead to increased latency, performance degradation, and failures. We review how to handle it with quotas, mirroring, and WarpStream Agent Groups.

In this post, we’ll look at what noisy neighbors are, the current ways to handle them (cluster quotas and mirroring clusters), and how WarpStream’s solution compares in terms of elasticity,…
