Recent releases have added some genuinely useful features. AI Commits let you generate commit messages and descriptions with one click, right from the commit area — handy for when writing a good commit message is the last thing you feel like doing. Automatic Branch Archiving takes care of housekeeping by detecting stale or fully merged branches and archiving them for you, so your sidebar doesn't fill up with clutter over time.
For teams with their own conventions, Custom Git Workflows let you define a branching model from scratch — trunk/topic branches, prefixes, merge strategies — or start from templates like git-flow or GitHub Flow, with one-click "Start/Finish Feature" actions to guide you through it. Tower also has Graphite Integration built in, covering stack creation, restacking, PR submission, and merge queue support without leaving the app.
Two more additions support more advanced setups: Worktree Support, for checking out and working on multiple branches at once, and Stacked Branches, which track parent-child relationships between branches so you can work with stacked pull requests and restack a whole chain with a single action.
Rounding things out, Commit Templates let teams reuse commit message formats across a repository, with quick keyboard access when you need one.

Since the introduction of KRaft, Kafka no longer requires Apache ZooKeeper® for managing cluster metadata. It uses Kafka itself instead. One advantage of the new KRaft mode is that you can have a single Kafka broker to handle both metadata and client requests in a small, local development environment. The docker-compose.yml file for this tutorial uses this approach, leading to faster startup times and simpler... - Source: dev.to / 16 days ago
Next, Kafka requires Zookeeper and a broker. Instead of installing them manually, we use Docker Compose with this YAML file. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
Zookeeper is a distributed coordination service used in older versions of Kafka to manage cluster metadata, leader election, and configuration. It ensures consistency and synchronization across Kafka brokers. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
Using a service discovery mechanism: A service discovery mechanism, such as etcd or ZooKeeper, can help to manage the complexity of microservices by providing a centralized registry of available services and their instances. - Source: dev.to / almost 2 years ago
