Frequently Asked Questions Related to Apache Kafka
What is Apache Kafka used for?
Apache Kafka is used for building real-time data streaming applications and systems. Common use cases include event-driven architectures, log aggregation, data integration, real-time analytics, and messaging systems for distributed environments.
What are the core components of Kafka?
Key components of Kafka include brokers, topics, partitions, producers, consumers, and Zookeeper (or Kraft in newer versions). These work together to manage the flow, storage, and processing of event data streams in distributed systems.
How does Kafka handle messaging?
Kafka uses a publish-subscribe model where producers send messages to topics, and consumers read messages from these topics. Messages are stored in partitions, ensuring scalability and fault tolerance.
What are common use cases for Kafka?
Common use cases for Kafka include building real-time data pipelines, monitoring logs, processing financial transactions, enabling IoT data flows, and supporting event-driven applications in microservices architectures.
What is Kafka’s role in modern IT environments?
Kafka plays a critical role in modern IT environments by providing a robust platform for handling real-time data streams. It supports scalability, high throughput, and reliability, making it ideal for managing complex distributed systems.
