Video Summary
Apache Kafka was established by the same creators that founded Confluent. It is an open-source distributed streaming system commonly used for stream processing.
As we continue our Confluent learning journey, technical expert, Oscar Moores, showcases the basics of Apache Kafka. This software is used by over 80% of the Fortune 100 across virtually every industry, capably handling over one million messages per second, or trillions of messages per day. In this video, Oscar explains why Kafka is so popular among the biggest, most reputable companies worldwide, from handling high-velocity and high-volume data with ease, to safely and securely storing streams of data in clusters.
Finally, Oscar also examines specific elements of Kafka's infrastructure that are particularly relevant to Confluent, including Kafka Connect and Kafka Streams.
