> Apache Kafka is a distributed streaming platform with four core APIs:
>
>
> ** The Producer API allows an application to publish a stream of records to
> one or more Kafka topics.
>
> ** The Consumer API allows an application to subscribe to one or more
> topics and process the stream of records produced to them.
>
> ** 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.
>
> ** 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.
>
>
> With these APIs, Kafka can be used for two broad classes of application:
>
> ** Building real-time streaming data pipelines that reliably get data
> between systems or applications.
>
> ** Building real-time streaming applications that transform or react
> to the streams of data.

> Apache Kafka is in use at large and small companies worldwide, including
> Capital One, Goldman Sachs, ING, LinkedIn, Netflix, Pinterest, Rabobank,
> Target, The New York Times, Uber, Yelp, and Zalando, among others.
