Apache Kafka

• Producer API – Permits an application to publish streams of records.
• Consumer API – Permits an application to subscribe to topics and processes streams of records.
• Connector API – Executes the reusable producer and consumer APIs that can link the topics to the existing applications.
• Streams API – This API converts the input streams to output and produces the result.
• Admin API – used to manage Kafka topics, brokers and other Kafka objects.

Apache Kafka has been used for building real-time streaming data pipelines and real-time streaming applications. Apache Kafka offers a data pipeline that reliably processes to move data from one system to another. Also, it offers a streaming application that consumes streams of data.

Apache Kafka is an open-source system with a distributed event store and stream-processing platform developed by the Apache Software Foundation written in Java and Scala. Apache Kafka aims to provide a unified, high-throughput, low-latency platform for handling real-time data feeds.
