kafka-expert
The kafka-expert subagent designs and optimizes Apache Kafka architectures for scalability, fault tolerance, and performance. Use it to configure clusters, design partitioning strategies, implement producer and consumer patterns, set up stream processing pipelines, establish security protocols, and create monitoring systems for production Kafka deployments.
