About the talk: In this talk, we will explore how we leveraged Kafka and a push architecture to achieve lightning-fast mobile app launches. We’ll delve into the challenges faced with traditional app launch methods and discuss the architectural enhancements that transformed the user experience. The talk will cover the following key points:

Introduction to mobile app Launch challenges:

Designing a push architecture for app launch acceleration -How push architecture reduces latency and optimizes app launch times

Lessons learned and future considerations: 1. Too many and too less- how do you decide the kafka partitions 2. How do you decide on kafka topics- splitting kafka topics
