Menala Kafka melibatkan konfigurasi producer, consumer, broker, dan topic untuk keseimbangan yang diingini antara throughput, latency, dan ketahanan. Memahami parameter penalaan utama dan pertukaran adalah penting untuk Kafka berprestasi tinggi.
Penalaan producer
✓ BATCHING → batch.size + linger.ms → batch messages → higher THROUGHPUT (fewer requests)
at the cost of slight latency
✓ COMPRESSION → compress batches (snappy, lz4, zstd) → less network/storage, more throughput
✓ acks → acks=all (durable, slower) vs acks=1 (faster, less safe) → durability vs throughput
✓ buffer.memory, max.in.flight → tune for throughput
Penalaan consumer
✓ fetch.min.bytes / fetch.max.wait → batch fetches → throughput vs latency
✓ max.poll.records → how many records per poll (processing batch size)
✓ Enough CONSUMERS and PARTITIONS for parallelism (the main scaling lever)
✓ Efficient processing (don't block; process in parallel/async where possible)
