Introduction

<p class="content-subtitle">
Apache Kafka® is a distributed streaming platform. What exactly does that mean?
</p>
<section class="conent-section">
<h2 class="content-section-title">
A streaming platform has three key capabilities:
</h2>
<ul class="content-feature-list">
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Pub/Sub
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
Publish and subscribe to streams of records, similar to a message queue or enterprise messaging system.
</p>
</li>
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Stream Storage
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
Store streams of records in a fault-tolerant durable way.
</p>
</li>
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Real-Time
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
Process streams of records as they occur.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section class="conent-section">
<h2 class="content-section-title">
Kafka is generally used for two broad classes of applications:
</h2>
<ul class="content-feature-list">
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Real-Time Pipelines
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
Building real-time streaming data pipelines that reliably get data between systems or applications.
</p>
</li>
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Real-Time Apps
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
Building real-time streaming applications that transform or react to the streams of data
</p>
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section class="conent-section">
<h2 class="content-section-title">
First a few concepts:
</h2>
<ul class="content-list">
<li class="content-item">
Kafka is run as a cluster on one or more servers that can span multiple datacenters.
</li>
<li class="content-item">
The Kafka cluster stores streams of records in categories called topics.
</li>
<li class="content-item">
Each record consists of a key, a value, and a timestamp.
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section class="conent-section">
<h2 class="content-section-title">
Kafka has five core APIs:
</h2>
<ul class="content-feature-list">
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Producer API
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
The Producer API allows an application to publish a stream of
records to one or more Kafka topics.
</p>
<a href="#" class="content-feature-learn-more">Learn more</a>
</li>
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Consumer API
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
The Consumer API allows an application to subscribe to one
or more topics and process the stream of records produced to them.
</p>
<a href="#" class="content-feature-learn-more">Learn more</a>
</li>
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Streams API
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
The Streams API allows an application to act as a stream
processor, consuming an input stream from one or more topics
and producing an output stream to one or more output topics,
effectively transforming the input streams to output streams.
</p>
<a href="#" class="content-feature-learn-more">Learn more</a>

<img class="content-feature-diagram-image" src="/images/cluster-diagram.svg" />
</li>
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Connector API
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
The Connector API allows building and running reusable
producers or consumers that connect Kafka topics to existing
applications or data systems. For example, a connector to a
relational database might capture every change to a table.
</p>
</li>
<li class="content-feature-item">
<h3 class="content-feature-title">
Admin API
</h3>
<p class="content-feature-text">
The Admin API allows managing and inspecting topics, brokers
and other Kafka objects.
