Intro to Apache Kafka by Jennifer Snipes

Apache Kafka is an open source distributed streaming platform that allows you to build applications and process events as they occur. As a real-time, scalable, and durable system, Kafka can be used for fault-tolerant storage as well as for other use cases, such as stream
processing, centralized data management, metrics, log aggregation, event sourcing and more.

This talk will explain what a streaming platform such as Apache Kafka is and some of the use cases and design patterns around its use.
