Apache Kafka is a distributed, scalable, and high-throughput event streaming platform that plays a key role in event-driven architecture. It allows for the division of monolithic applications into independent microservices for scalability and maintainability. Producers and consumers are the key components in Kafka, allowing for a decoupled system. Kafka's replication and persistent storage capabilities set it apart from alternatives like Redis and RabbitMQ. Kafka provides easy access to real-time data and simplifies real-time data handling.

You’re curious about what Apache Kafka does and how it works, but between the terminology and explanations that seem to start at a complex level, it's been difficult to embark. This session is different. We'll talk about what Kafka is, what it does and how it works in simple terms with easy to understand and funny examples that you can share later at a dinner table with your family. This session is for curious minds, who might have never worked with distributed streaming systems before, or are beginners to event streaming applications. But let simplicity not deceive you - by the end of the session you’ll be equipped to create your own Apache Kafka event stream!
