Moving to Anthropic's Buffa connectrpc has been really smooth.
I think more teams will end up shipping proto-first applications simple because they can draft contracts against canonical proto files.

At Monster Scale Summit, @bufbuild's Miguel Young de la Sota will explore how engineering teams should think about balancing aggressive optimization against system stability and maintainability. Save your free and virtual spot here > ow.ly/45KZ50Yq7PI#ScyllaDB
docs have no business being the contract between services
that's what types are for
do this and your coding agent will love you

LinkedIn gave us Kafka, but left 3 issues: Schema evolution, plug-and-play integration & governance.
We solved all 3:
✅ Buf CLI breaking change detection
✅ Bufstream's broker-side schema awareness
✅ BSR team-wide governance
Let’s finish what Kafka started 🚀
