1.简介

Apache Kafka is a fast, distributed streaming platform that provides scalability, fault tolerance, and durability for real-time data processing applications. It is commonly used in enterprise messaging systems, IoT (Internet of Things) solutions, and big data analytics pipelines. In this article, we will guide you through the core concepts, technical details, algorithms, and code examples to help you build high-performance Kafka-based messaging systems. We also cover how to optimize performance and handle common errors and issues using monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger. Finally, we discuss best practices and considerations for designing production-ready Kafka-based messaging systems. This book assumes some basic
