KAFKAKRAFT / SPECIALIST CONSULTING
Find the bottleneck. Measure the improvement.
Investigate performance across applications, brokers and infrastructure with a baseline-led approach.
Discuss your requirement ↗WHO THIS IS FOR
Expertise for your next decision.
Teams experiencing throughput constraints, growing consumer lag, latency issues or uneven resource utilisation.
Baseline & success criteria
Define throughput, latency and backlog goals alongside workload shape. Separate application processing delays from platform constraints.
End-to-end diagnosis
Review producers, consumers, brokers, storage and network signals to identify where time and resources are being spent.
Controlled change plan
Prioritise changes by evidence, risk and expected benefit. Define a representative test and rollback plan before changing production settings.
Validation & handover
Compare results against the baseline and record trade-offs. Explain what to monitor as traffic and workload patterns evolve.
TANGIBLE OUTPUTS
What you can take forward.
- Performance baseline and bottleneck findings
- Prioritised tuning and test plan
- Before-and-after measurement template
- Monitoring and follow-up recommendations
Deliverables, depth, schedule and access are agreed in writing before the engagement begins.
How we work together.
01 / Understand
Clarify your environment, priorities, success criteria and scope.
02 / Review & recommend
Work through evidence and trade-offs with your engineering team.
03 / Transfer & enable
Walk through the agreed outputs, decisions and practical next steps.
A useful starting point.
Representative metrics, workload and message-size profiles, relevant client configurations with secrets removed, and a safe test or approved change window.
Initial discussions can use sanitised information. Any deeper access is agreed separately.
How long does an engagement take?
Timing depends on platform size, available evidence and the agreed deliverables. We confirm the scope and schedule after the initial conversation.
Can you work alongside our internal team?
Yes. The engagement can focus on assessment, design guidance, implementation support or knowledge transfer, with responsibilities agreed upfront.
