Kafka – distributed event streaming platform

Apache Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration, and mission-critical applications.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

• High Throughput – deliver messages at network limited throughput using a cluster of machines with latencies as low as 2ms.
• Scalable – scale production clusters up to a thousand brokers, trillions of messages per day, petabytes of data, hundreds of thousands of partitions. Elastically expand and contract storage and processing.
• Permanent Storage – store streams of data safely in a distributed, durable, fault-tolerant cluster.
• High Availability – stretch clusters efficiently over availability zones or connect separate clusters across geographic regions.
• Built-in Stream Processing – process streams of events with joins, aggregations, filters, transformations, and more, using event-time and exactly-once processing.
• Connect to almost anything – Kafka’s out-of-the-box Connect interface integrates with hundreds of event sources and event sinks including Postgres, JMS, Elasticsearch, AWS S3, and more.
