Introduction to Kafka

What is Kafka?

Apache Kafka is an open-source publish-subscribe-based messaging system. It is distributed, durable, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable by design. Fundamentally, it is a system that takes streams of messages from applications known as producers, stores them reliably on a central cluster (containing a set of brokers), and allows those messages to be received by applications (known as consumers) that process the messages.

From Apache Kafka 4.0 , Zookeeper is replaced with KRaft which is their implementation of Raft algo (quoram essentially). I think an update is needed here or a blog tieing up topics like WAL , Quoram , PAXOS , Raft , KRaft etc.
