Understanding Kafka Concepts

Visual representation of Kafka components and their relationships

Code Example
# Kafka Architecture Overview

Producer → Topic (Partitioned) → Broker → Consumer

# Example Topic Structure
user-events:
├── Partition 0: [msg1, msg4, msg7, ...]
├── Partition 1: [msg2, msg5, msg8, ...]
└── Partition 2: [msg3, msg6, msg9, ...]

# Consumer Group Example
Consumer Group "analytics":
├── Consumer 1 → Partition 0
├── Consumer 2 → Partition 1
└── Consumer 3 → Partition 2

# Message Flow
1. Producer sends message to topic
2. Broker stores message in partition
3. Consumer reads from partition
4. Offset tracks consumer position

Expected Output:

Kafka provides a distributed, fault-tolerant, and scalable platform for real-time data streaming.

Explanation:

This diagram shows how Kafka components work together to create a robust messaging system. The partitioned topic structure allows for parallel processing and high throughput.
