Title:
Apache Kafka® 101

Abstract:
Apache Kafka is an event streaming platform used to collect, process, store, and integrate data at scale. It has numerous use cases including distributed logging, stream processing, data integration, and pub/sub messaging. In order to make complete sense of what Kafka does, we'll delve into what an "event streaming platform" is and how it works. So before delving into Kafka architecture or its core components, let's discuss what an event is. This will help explain how Kafka stores events, how to get events in and out of the system, and how to analyze event streams.
