    Aiven for Apache Kafka®

    Karapace version 3.16.0

    Karapace has been updated to version 3.16.0, adding new features and improvements that enhance reliability and monitoring.

    Key changes include:

    • Schema reader behavior: Karapace can be configured to shut down if it finds corrupt entries in the _schemas topic. By default, Karapace skips these entries. When configured to shut down, any error while consuming data from the _schemas topic will cause Karapace to stop.
    • Shutdown metrics: Karapace now includes a metric to monitor how often it shuts down. This helps you track shutdown events more effectively.

    For a complete list of changes, see the Karapace release notes.
