https://kafka.apache.org/powered-by Introduction Apache Kafka is an open-source, distributed message broker based on Scala and Java. It's used as a publish-subscribe messaging system; when a producer publishes a message, it's broadcast, and subscribers can get notified and process the information. It can handle large volumes of real-time data and event streaming pipelines with higher throughput than popular message brokers like ActiveMQ and RabbitMQ. In addition, it's highly scalable and fault-tolerant. Apache Kafka uses Apache Zookeeper to keep track of its cluster node's status, topics, partitions, and so on.

It provides configuration information, naming, synchronization and group services for large clusters in a distributed systems.
