Thanks for the video mate now I can add Apache Kafka to my resume

[VincentJenks]

Kafka is one of my favorite pieces of technology. I’ve successfully used it in several projects as a streaming queue and event bus, in a microservices setting, and it’s a joy to work with. Since it tracks what has been consumed with an offset, it greatly simplifies distributed, high-volume writes, and gives you great confidence in data consistency (eventually) ;) Highly recommend!

Really great overview - precise and succinct!

[nachiketkanore]

I would like to know how these types of animated videos are created

0:58- "this sets it apart from simpler messaging systems". What sets it apart from simpler messaging systems? The fault tolerance that you mentioned right before that sentence? In what sense is it fault tolerant? By being distributed and holding messages across multiple nodes?

I really love your videos. I have subscribed to bytebytego and continue to learn from the content you share. I have one question about your video animation. What do you use to animate the system design animations in this video explanation of Kafka. I have a presentation and I would love to do something like that for my presentation. Thank you.

You can explain full details of Tomcat Apache service, please

[edutech]

Excellent work how you make bits and packets moving and these animated flowgraphs? Which software?

[raminaboohamzeh]

Hello, thanks for providing us with these fantastic presentations. I will be very 0:26 if you kindly send me these files. Anyway, it will be appreciated if you let me know the way and method these files are produced.

Great overview! kudos! If Kafka should not be used for Low Latency then what is the best tech/tool to use for Low Latency Systems or Financial Markets Trading? I would appreciate if you could create a video on Low Latency System Designing?

Why the name. Is there a connection to the famous writer? I don‘t see any connection to one of his stories and I read quite a few of them. Probably no connection there.

[minntzu]

Thanks for the video, great explanation. Not sure if it’s correct to call it real-time streaming though, normally it would refer to websockets while event driven systems can be quite slow.

How and why am I subscribed to this channel and I didn't subscribe to here? I've been experiencing this quite a bit on YouTube. I really need to write to YouTube about this because I didn't subscribe and yet I got a notification and when I checked I'm subscribe to here.

Anything about alternatives or competitors to kafka?
