Release 12.2.0
Support for auto-scaling Kafka brokers
Event Streams 12.2.0 and later include support for automatic scaling of Kafka brokers. You can configure auto-scaling by creating a Kubernetes HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA), which dynamically adjusts the number of broker pods based on resource usage. Pairing this with Cruise Control enables topic partitions to rebalance when Kafka brokers are added or removed. For more information, see the auto-scaling section.
Collect producer metrics without the Kafka Proxy
In Event Streams release 12.2.0 and later, you can collect producer client metrics without depending on the Kafka Proxy. For more information, see configuring.
Deprecation of the Kafka Proxy
The Kafka Proxy is deprecated in Event Streams 12.2.0 and later. Existing connections use Kafka Proxy routes to ensure your applications can continue to access Kafka. For more information, see the post-upgrade tasks.
