Apache Kafka Simply Explained
summary
A clear, practical walkthrough of Kafka fundamentals that builds a runnable demo: a Java client producer sends continuous JSON messages over SSL to a topic while a consumer polls and logs offsets and partitions; ordering breaks across partitions until messages are keyed, after which per-customer ordering holds. The talk shows how topics split into partitions, recommends a replication factor of three for durability, explains leaders/followers and acks tradeoffs, and points to a GitHub repo with exercises so the producer/consumer loop and partition behavior can be reproduced locally.
