Apache Kafka je distribuirana platforma za streaming događaja — sistem s visokom propusnosti, trajnim pohranom za objavljivanje, spremanje i obrada tokova događaja (zapisa). Koristi se za razmjenu poruka, cjevovode podataka u realnom vremenu, arhitekture vođene događajima i obrada tokova u većim količinama.
Što je Kafka
Kafka = a distributed, durable, high-throughput EVENT STREAMING platform:
→ PUBLISH events (producers write) and SUBSCRIBE to them (consumers read)
→ STORE streams of events durably (a distributed, replicated commit LOG)
→ PROCESS streams in real time
→ think of it as a durable, scalable, append-only LOG of events that many systems can
write to and read from
