Kafka Overview

Apache Kafka is a community distributed event streaming platform capable of handling trillions of events a day. It was initially conceived as a messaging queue, Kafka is based on an abstraction of a distributed commit log. Since being created and open-sourced by LinkedIn in 2011, Kafka has quickly evolved from messaging queue to a full-fledged event streaming platform.
