Introduction

Kafka is an Open source Distributed Partitioned Replicated Commit-log-based publish-subscribe messaging system. A filesystem or database commit log is designed to provide a durable record of all transactions so that they can be replayed to consistently build the state of a system

data within Kafka is stored durably, in order, and can be read deterministically. In addition, the data can be distributed within the system to provide additional protections against failures, as well as significant opportunities for scaling performance.
