Short Summary
The video discusses the top five use cases of Apache Kafka and how it addresses critical challenges in modern software architecture. Originally developed for processing logs at LinkedIn, Kafka has transformed into a versatile event streaming platform that supports various applications through features like immutable logs and configurable retention policies.
Key Points
- Log Analysis: Centralizes and analyzes logs from multiple sources, especially in microservices and cloud environments, enabling real-time data processing alongside tools like the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
- Real-time Machine Learning Pipelines: Acts as a central nervous system for ML systems by ingesting data from different sources, allowing for immediate processing for use cases like fraud detection and predictive maintenance.
- Real-time System Monitoring and Alerting: Facilitates proactive health tracking of systems by ingesting metrics and events for anomaly detection and alerts while allowing for time-travel debugging.
- Change Data Capture (CDC): Tracks and captures changes in source databases for real-time replication to downstream systems, utilizing Kafka Connect for various integrations.
- System Migration: Acts as a buffer during migration processes, allowing for gradual transitions, complex migration patterns, and ensuring data consistency through message replay capabilities.
