Kafka is an Event Streaming Platform App App App App request-response changelogs App messaging OR stream processing App KAFKA App App DWH Hadoop streaming data pipelines @rmoff | @confluentinc
What is an Event Streaming Platform? Producer Connectors Consumer The Log Connectors Streaming Engine @rmoff | @confluentinc
Immutable Event Log Old New Messages are added at the end of the log @rmoff | @confluentinc
Topics Clicks Orders Customers Topics are similar in concept to tables in a database @rmoff | @confluentinc
Partitions Clicks p0 P1 P2 Messages are guaranteed to be strictly ordered within a partition @rmoff | @confluentinc
Messages are just K/V bytes plus headers + timestamp Clicks Header Timestamp Key Value @rmoff | @confluentinc
Serialisation & Schemas JSON Avro Protobuf Schema JSON CSV 👍 👍 👍 😬 https://rmoff.dev/qcon-schemas @rmoff | @confluentinc
