Does it cover exactly-once semantics (EOS)?

Yes, it includes specific broker and producer configuration templates required to support transactional workloads and atomic stream processing.

Does this skill help with KRaft migration?

Yes, it provides configuration patterns and architectural guidance for migrating from legacy ZooKeeper to KRaft mode in Kafka 3.3+.

Is it useful for small development or testing clusters?

Yes, it provides scaled-down hardware recommendations and configuration templates specifically for dev/test environments and proof-of-concepts.

How does it handle multi-datacenter architecture?

It offers patterns for both active-passive and active-active architectures, including guidance on MirrorMaker 2 and geo-replication conflict resolution.

Can it calculate how many partitions I need for a specific topic?

Absolutely. It uses target throughput, read/write requirements, and consumer parallelism formulas to recommend optimal partition counts.
