কাফকা (Apache Kafka) কি জিনিস? বন্ধুদের আড্ডায় শিখে নিই!

Rahim inquired about Kafka, a technology Karim explained as a high-speed data transfer system, analogous to a bustling bus counter in Dhaka's Gulistan. Karim compared Kafka's components to the bus counter system: producers (passengers), consumers (buses), topics (bus destinations), partitions (multiple counters for a single destination), and brokers (bus terminal management). Kafka's key features include extremely fast processing, data persistence, and scalability. It finds applications in various sectors, including social media, e-commerce, banking, and gaming, facilitating real-time data distribution. A food ordering app example illustrated how Kafka efficiently routes order information to multiple systems simultaneously. Learning Kafka requires programming skills (Java, Python, or JavaScript), basic networking knowledge, Linux commands, and familiarity with JSON. Karim emphasized the importance of hands-on practice for mastering Kafka, highlighting its relevance in modern software development and career prospects. He encouraged Rahim to begin learning through official documentation and small projects. Finally, Karim concluded by urging readers to share and comment on the blog post.
