This presentation will cover the basics of Apache Kafka. Why would you use Kafka in your application? What is the overall architecture of Kafka? How does Kafka process messages and how does it store messages? How is data serialized? In this talk, I will be covering the basic internals of Kafka and how these components integrate together including brokers, topics, partitions, consumers and producers, replication, and Zookeeper. I will also talk about the types of problems people are providing solutions for with Kafka.
