Apache Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform capable of handling trillions of events a day. It is used for building real-time data pipelines and streaming applications. Scalable, fault-tolerant, and durable.
Project Introduction
Summary
Apache Kafka is a leading open-source distributed event streaming platform designed to handle high-volume, real-time data feeds and build real-time applications. It provides capabilities for publishing, subscribing to, storing, and processing event streams.
Problem Solved
Solves the problem of efficiently moving large volumes of data between systems in real-time, decoupling data producers from consumers, and enabling reliable stream processing at scale. Addresses limitations of traditional messaging systems and data integration methods.
Core Features
Scalability and Performance
High-throughput, low-latency platform for handling large volumes of data.
Fault Tolerance and Durability
Distributes data across multiple brokers and replicates topics to ensure durability and availability.
Persistent Messaging
Stores data streams in a fault-tolerant durable way for a configurable amount of time.
Stream Processing
Includes Kafka Streams, a client library for building stream processing applications.
