Kafka

Kafka, an open-source stream-processing software framework developed by the Apache Software Foundation, provides a unified platform that has low-latency and high-throughput rates to manage real-time data streams. Kafka can connect to Kafka Connect, an external system, and offers Kafka Streams, a library for Java stream processing. Kafka is a distributed system comprising servers and clients that communicate using a TCP network protocol. It can be implemented on bare-metal hardware, virtual machines, and containers in on-premise and cloud environments.

 

Kafka is run as a cluster of several data centers or cloud regions that can cover one or more servers. Some of the servers from the storage layer are called brokers. Kafka Connect is used by other clients to constantly import and export data as event sources and integrate Kafka with the current systems, such as relational databases and other Kafka clusters. A Kafka cluster is scalable and fault-tolerant enough to allow business organizations to incorporate mission-critical use cases. In case, any of its servers crashes, the other servers can take over their function without any loss of data to ensure continuous and smooth operations.

 

Kafka helps in writing such distributed applications and microservices that, even in the case of network or machine failures are able to read, write, and process streams of events in a parallel and fault-tolerant manner. We are highly satisfied with the result after the proper implementation of the Kafka Software by our talented and strictly professional team.
