Intro to Distributed Log Message Brokers (Kafka & Event Hub)

An introduction to Distributed Log style message brokers such as Azure Event Hubs and Apache (or Confluent) Kafka
We cover how they work and how Topics, Partitions, Offsets, and Consumer groups relate to each other.

This is truly excellent tutorial to demonstrate in what technical implementation ways traditional topic/subscription differs from Kafka/EventHub type of message borker solutions. thanks !! however, would be great if you can also come up with some use case sceanrios where one fits better than other.

So, You mean to say that if there are 2 partitions, and 3 consumer groups connected to both of them, then each consumer group can atmost have 2 applications within that. Am i right?

[@ciaranod1981]

The consumer groups would be for applications. Each application could have two instances of the code that reads the topic, each reading a single partition.
