KAFKA AZURE SERVICES
Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed streaming platform that can be used to build real-time streaming data pipelines and applications. Kafka also provides message broker functionality similar to a message queue, where you can publish and subscribe to named data streams.
Nowadays, companies are bombarded with huge volumes of data every second. Be it business intelligence, user analytics, or operational intelligence; ingestion, and analysis of streaming data requires moving the necessary data from its sources to the multiple consumers who are keen in it. This is where Apache Kafka comes into picture with its highly scalable, reliable, and fast data ingestion and streaming tool. At Microsoft, we use Apache Kafka as the main component of our near real-time data transfer service to handle up to 30 million events per second.
