What is Apache Kafka®?

cnfl.io/what-is-kafka-and-ksq... | Apache Kafka® is an open source distributed streaming platform that allows you to build applications and process events as they occur. Tim Berglund (Senior Director of Developer Experience at Confluent) walks through how it works and important underlying concepts. As a real-time, scalable, and durable system, Kafka can be used for fault-tolerant storage as well as for other use cases, such as stream processing, centralized data management, metrics, log aggregation, event sourcing, and more.

One of THE BEST videos explaining Kafka in such a simple way. I am now officially a fan of Tim Berglund.

[@jaxxwade2873]

Instablaster...

[@SatanIsTheLord]

10 minutes to explain that Kafka is basically queue of events? Lame!

[@hamzanasirr]

@@SatanIsTheLord even the keyword that you used "queue of events" is pretty advanced for some beginners.

[@goosemagus9376]

I totally like the way you teach in this video. I never worked with Kafka and this gave me a clear and structured overview.

[@TheDiegosb]

Now that's what I call an awesome explanation. Great job!

[@techzoo1]

After reading a bunch of papers and lectures that are making non-sense, CZcams and this video are my lifesaver!

[@VebitoTetseo_gPlus]

Everyone else going, "Target System, Source System, Streaming, distributed events, etc. etc." but they don't put it together as well as Tim does! Brilliant.

What a great overview! Thank you.

[@AshinIgnatius]

I had watched other intro videos which discusses about producer APIs and event emitting, in addition to topics. This one focuses mainly on topics. Couldn't say this introduction is complete.

[@cBadArsBiker1579]

This is an excellent lecture on the topic!!!!

[@ikemkrueger]

4:51 "Minimum Viable Understanding", that's a damn interesting concept.

Great explanation by Gavin Belson

[@JoshKemmerer]

When did he leave Hooli? 🤔🤣

[@thiruvetti]

Excellent intro into the questions "What is Kafka" and "Why Kakfa". Although teams would have to think a lot before they step into a migration thinking this is cool and then finding the old one was sufficient ;-)

Wonderful video...thank you!

Awesome. Best explanation ever.

That was really great!! Thumbs up!!

[@rizwanrauf9347]

Awesome Explanation

[@robertbowden6311]

I love how the presenter is able to write backwards.

[@ossamahjaji7985]

I'm pretty certain he doesn't

[@flypip]

Ahah, he just writes normally and mirror the video

[@robertbowden6311]

@@flypip Now you mention it, the clues are there - he writes with his 'left' hand, though he could be a leftie, but then his wedding band is on his right hand instead of his left - plus the shirt pocket is on the right hand side and the shirt is buttoned the wrong way around (unless he buys shirts for left handed people, that is).

[@flypip]

Robert Bowden Yes, there are some clues, but it’s a famous technique to teach through a video

[@gainonten4031]

yeah and he is left-handed!

[@molacool]

even I understood it ! Great video ! 10/10

[@investmentdojo123]

this is Bill Bur's best explanation of Apache Kafka so far

[@naoralmog]

Simply great ! thank you

STANDING-O .. omg. can you explain everything to me. That was freakin awesome.

[@dimitriasilveria12]

Thanks for this amazing video

[@harjeetkajal]

thanks, great explanation !

[@dafuki]

Tim Berglund should have an IT buzz-term explanation channel. This is really good.

[@Bestape]

Thank you! Yay event-driven architecture. :o)
Philosophically, objectmotion is like spacetime. Things make events and events make things. Nonhalting is the more primitive state of stuff. Complementarity in information theory.

[@sharonleibel]

Great Explanation. How does Kafka relates to Splunk who used to aggregate logs?

[@yergalemkahsay618]

Excellent explanation wow

[@chinmayrath8494]

What a great video!!

[@menthalbreed]

Nobody noticed how causually he does mirror writing while explaining a complex TOPIC. Respect!

[@xaviert9882]

Chances are that he is not mirror writing but the whole video is mirrored: he writes with his left hand and, statistically, 90% or the people are right-handed. Also, he wears a wedding ring, which is customary worn on the left hand in the United States, regardless of whether you are left- or right-handed. Actually, you can see a freckle above one eye, and in a photo I saw in Internet you can see it over the other eye... All in all, the video is awesome and still: Respect!

[@menthalbreed]

@@xaviert9882 Great analysis! thx :-)

[@mgbaraka1]

great video thank you.

[@the-floff]

Very good explanation. Even tho I got distracted by wondering if he used a real pen on glass or not.
