Why is Apache Kafka® latency important? Anna Povzner (Software Engineer, Confluent) gives the breakdown and everything you need to know when it comes to measuring latency. The five components of latency are produce time, publish time, commit time, catch-up time, and fetch time. When consumer pulling adds to latency, Anna shares some best practices to keep in mind for how to think about partitioning in conjunction with latency. She also discusses client configuration in the cloud, interesting problems she's helped solve for customers, and her top two tips for debugging latency.
