Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed event streaming platform used by thousands of companies for high-performance data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration, and mission-critical applications.

A brief Apache Kafka background

Apache Kafka is written in Scala and Java and is the creation of former LinkedIn data engineers. As early as 2011, the technology was handed over to the open-source community as a highly scalable messaging system. Today, Apache Kafka is part of the Confluent Stream Platform and handles trillions of events every day. ​Apache Kafka has established itself on the market with many trusted companies waving the Kafka banner.
