[@A1n2o3s4h5]

Very simply put, probably the easiest to understand explanation on this topic I have encountered yet.

[@Kamillascookie]

Better explanation than I could dream of. Hats off to you sir!

[@joshuagies4900]

Starting off with the slide that says "simple at first" is an accurate assessment of Kafka as well... Beware of message formats. Usually the one you use first will stick around forever. Also, leader for each partition is responsible for all reads and writes. The higher the replication factor for a topic, the greater the load on the leaders.

[@lakshminarayana3236]

[@rinogo1]

It's probably worth mentioning that messaging systems (like Kafka) don't just do message transportation - they also provide buffering so that producers and consumers don't have to operate synchronously.

[@user-hn3zq9pw5z]

This is the vital part, that was 50k oveview on usage but underlying functionality like topics, producer consumer , queing ,de-queing should be explained as well coz thats the beauty of kafka

Thanks! The examples/use cases really helped.

[@jaydeepgoswami909]

Excellent video sir, I have a question, can we use Kafka in an e-commerce system for efficient products searching and listing out the best match results? It would be great if you can suggest us the best solution or mechanism to implement an efficient search mechanism in a custom built website and mobile application using PHP and flutter. Thank you in advance sir 🙏🏻

[@umair-anwar]

is kafka keeping an address map of all the services? So, if one services wants to send a message to another, it only has to tell the service name. Am I thinking in the right direction?

Could you please share any doc describing the steps for Oracle golden gate integration with Kafka?

[@mahdimalvandi7605]

Hi. I think it would have been good to mention where kafka queues will be. Ram or disk. Thanks for sharing.

[@SergiiStarodubtsev]

Quick question. Could dynamo db streams replace apache kafka for most use cases? It has both: db(for events)+ streams. On top of that it's serverless. ? I know it can and do it for cases we use it for. But what is your take?

[@chrisreynolds2969]

excellent video. thank you for the great content

[@kmunson007]

[@anikgupta3929]

Is Kafka built with ML algorithms along with decoupling of data streams to various sources? Was it only Kafka since Netflix came up with recommended engines?

[@blind_sauce]

Short but helpful!

[@andrewkondrashov6485]

Hi! Can you help me to understand how to use kafka rest proxy? I already broke my mind!

[@jordanryanethanowona2974]

Hi stephane do you have kafka tutorials for golang ?

[@robinappleton-power7270]

hi awesome course! I understand Kafka consumers use a pull model to consume data. My question is about connectivity in AWS cloud when the Kafka Consumer is in a separate AWS VPC to the Kafka server . Do we need to configure an inbound or outbound connection to the Kakfa server? thanks for any clarification - Robin

[@dilipbhapkar1217]

It's very good easy to digest!!!

[@KoiladaPavan]

Is this equal to kinesis on AWS?
