Advantages of Kafka

Apache Kafka is selected for it's strengths in the space of messaging. The following are some of the advantages which Kafka possess, making it ideal for our Data Lake implementation:

• High-throughput: Kafka is capable of handling high-velocity and high-volume data using not so large hardware. It is capable of supporting message throughput of thousands of messages per second.
• Low latency: Kafka is able to handle these messages with very low latency of the range of milliseconds, demanded by most of new use cases.
• Fault tolerant: The inherent capability of Kafka to be resistant to node/machine failure within a cluster.
• Durability: The data/messages are persistent on disk, making it durable and messages are also replicated ...
