Make it easier to work on integrations with Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka message broker is a distributed streaming platform that can process millions of events daily. Kafka guarantees easy integration into the project infrastructure, the reliability and scalability of the system.

Kafka Connect

Kafka Connect is an Apache Kafka framework that provides scalability and flexibility to move data between Kafka and other repositories. This framework allows the broker to act as an ESB service bus.

Apache Kafka features

1

Streaming data processing

Streaming data processing in Kafka— KT.team

Kafka's streaming processing works with data in real time at the speed of message generation. Messages are processed continuously and without blocking. Many business processes are also ongoing and do not require a response for processing. Streaming data processing is necessary for business processes such as alerting suspicious transactions or tracking mail delivery.

App activity tracking

Any messages that appear in the app can be published in a special Kafka topic. For example, every ERP system document or every user action on the site: clicks, adding to favorites, adding/removing from the “Cart”, filling out forms, page views (and its depth) — can be sent and distributed according to specially defined Kafka topics. Thus, other topics (consumers) can subscribe to the topics they need for various purposes — monitoring, analysis, reporting, personalization, etc.

3

Logging and log monitoring

Logging and monitoring Kafka's dens — KT.team

Kafka allows you to keep logs and monitor logs. You can publish logs to Kafka topics, and logs can be stored and processed in a cluster for as long as you need. If you have a dedicated monitoring app, it will be able to get real-time data from Kafka topics.

4

Message storage

Message storage in Kafka — KT.team

Kafka adds each message to the journal (saves it to disk) and stores it there until the log is cleared of old messages, which the user assigns in advance. This allows Kafka to be used as a reliable data source (unlike RabbitMQ, which deletes messages immediately after delivery).

The benefits of Kafka Apache

1

Scalability

Apache Kafka allows you to process data of any size. You can start working with one broker to try out Kafka's features and then increase the number of brokers to fully exploit the system. It is also possible to increase the volume while the current number of brokers is running — this will not affect the system as a whole in any way.

2

System reliability

One of Kafka's advantages is its reliability. For example, if one of the Kafka brokers “falls” for some reason, it will switch the entire data flow to other brokers and automatically distribute the load between them, and the system will continue to operate normally.

3

Productivity

Due to its high throughput, Apache Kafka is able to process more than a million events per second. This makes Kafka the most popular message broker when working with big data.

How many streams will the systems send
Example: The “Product Management System” will send product data. “Order Management System” — about orders. “Warehouse management system” — about the status of the shipment. This is 3 streams.

To transfer data between systems, we create a “stream”. Some streams are needed to send data, while others are needed to receive data. Orders, goods, or other entities may be transferred in a separate stream.

For example, on the diagram:
1. The “Merchandise Management System” sends goods. “Warehouse management system” is the fact that an order has been shipped. “Order Management System” — orders. In total, the systems will send 3 streams;

2. The Warehouse Management System accepts goods and orders. “Order management system” — goods and the fact that the order has been shipped. In total, the systems will receive 4 streams.
