**Observability Made Easy: Unlocking Kafka Client Insights with KIP-714**

Speaker: Florent Ramière, Head of R&D, Conduktor

Apache Kafka powers today's most advanced data streaming architectures—but visibility into your Kafka clients has always been limited. **KIP-714** changes that, offering a powerful and standardized way to expose client-side metrics.

In this session, Florent will break down:

- Why KIP-714 is essential for production-grade systems
- How it integrates with OpenTelemetry and modern observability tools
- Real-world use cases for debugging, tuning, and SLA monitoring
- A live demo connecting Kafka clients to your telemetry stack

## Who Should Attend?

- Backend & Data Engineers
- Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
- Architects working with Kafka or real-time systems
- Anyone curious about observability and client-side metrics
