Building a Session-Ordered Kafka Pipeline in Go

The article describes a custom implementation that provides a session-level ordering on top of Apache Kafka partitions, supporting strict message ordering across 1000s of independent channels. The solution required application-level routing, consistent hashing, retries, and contiguous watermark commits. Engineers conducted operational hardening supported by extensive performance testing.

Building Reusable Evaluation Frameworks for Agentic AI Products

Susan Chang explains how Elastic transitioned from siloed, ad-hoc AI agent evaluations to a unified, production-grade framework. She discusses balancing LLM-as-a-judge with deterministic rules, bridging Python data science evals with TypeScript production code, and implementing deep tracing to catch regressions across complex RAG and cybersecurity workloads while preserving domain context.
