What is
APACHE KAFKA?
Apache Kafka reliably accepts and stores high volume streams of incoming data from a range of sources so that the data can be later consumed by connected applications. This type of capability is increasingly becoming an important and critical component of modern application architectures.
Kafka enables developers to deliver important application needs such as:
A leading streaming and queuing technology for large-scale, always-on applications.

OPERATIONALMETRICS
LOG AGGREGATION
Enabling data from one source to be processed by many downstream applications.
Safely dealing with spikes in workloads by temporarily storing data until ready for processing.
Providing an authoritative and central point for data for processing by downstream applications.
Facilitating stream processing, where calculations can be performed on the data stream to enable efficient and effective use of data at specific times.
Originally developed at LinkedIn in 2010, Kafka became a top level Apache project in 2012.
