In this Cartoon Style Visual Introduction to Apache Kafka we’re going to build a “Postal Service” to deliver party invitations to two groups, Nerds and Pugsters – find out who goes to the party. Along the way we’ll learn about Kafka Producers, Consumers, Groups, Topics, Partitions, Keys, Records, Delivery Semantics (Guaranteed delivery, and who gets what messages). We’ll also have a quick look at Streams (mail sorting) and Connectors (how does mail get delivered between post offices).
