    Idk how many videos I went over but not a single one would say that partition in Kafka is JUST A QUEUE. They would unnecessarily make it complicated with more technical jargon. Thank You good Sir🧔‍♂👋🎩

    I love how you don't just jump into the current implementation, but rather, goes through the thought process of starting out with single server setup, addressing issues, and then leading up to how Kafka handles it. Nice video. The videos help, the explanations are crystal clear and detailed too.

    What a great video! Perfect balance between an illustrating example and technical depth. Easy to follow along. I tried another video before, with which started out talking about "source systems" and "target systems", never explaining what they mean by those, without any illustrating example, and that video lost me right away. In contrast, yours easily made sense from the first second and was easy to follow along as you kept adding depth incrementally.

    Thorough Notes Apache Kafka is a solution to the problems faced by the distribution and scaling of messaging systems. Kafka is used to design a system that listens to various basketball game updates from various sources and displays the game's status on various channels such as mobile devices and computer browsers. In the architecture, a process called a producer reads these updates and writes them in a queue. Downstream processes called consumers consume these updates to display them on the various channels. As the system expands to follow more games, the servers struggle to handle the load due to the queue being hosted on one server which is running out of memory and processing capacity. To add more computing power, the architecture needs to be distributed. However, distributing a queue data structure can lead to consuming updates in the wrong order, resulting in inconsistencies. Kafka allows the application to specify the way to distribute the items in the queue. In the example, items are distributed using the match name, ensuring that updates from the same match are on the same queue, maintaining an ordering per basketball match. Each queue in Kafka is called a partition, and the total number of partitions is called a partition count. Each server holding one or more of these partitions is called a broker. Each item in a partition is called a record. The field used to decide which partition the record should be stored in is called the partition key. If no key is specified, Kafka assigns a random partition. A grouping of partitions handling the same type of data is called a topic. Each record in a topic is identified by a partition number and an offset. Kafka allows for parallelizing consumer applications, with one consumer per partition guaranteeing ordering per game. Consumers can live on one machine or distributed amongst multiple ones. Consumers in Kafka are lightweight and many can be created without affecting performance. Kafka only needs to maintain the latest offsets read by each consumer. Consumers belonging to the same consumer group do not share partitions, meaning each consumer reads different records from the other consumers. Kafka provides various policies that allow it to do a record cleanup. For example, using a retention policy, you can provide a record age limit after which the records are automatically deleted. Kafka stores records in a fault-tolerant and durable way. Each record is stored on persistent storage so that if a broker goes down, it can recover when it comes back up. Kafka replicates partitions so that when a broker goes down, a backup partition takes over and processing can resume. This replication is configured using a replication factor.
