Apache Kafka adalah platform event streaming terdistribusi — sistem throughput tinggi dan tahan lama untuk menerbitkan, menyimpan, dan memproses aliran peristiwa (records). Digunakan untuk messaging, pipeline data real-time, arsitektur event-driven, dan stream processing dalam skala besar.
Apa itu 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
