Real-time distributed data streaming
Apache Kafka® is an open source distributed event streaming platform that used for building high-performance real-time data pipelines, streaming analytics, data integration, and mission-critical applications and streaming apps. It is horizontally scalable, fault-tolerant, ultra fast, and more than 80% of all Fortune 100 companies trust, and use Kafka.
Originally written in Scala and Java, Apache Kafka first started at LinkedIn. It provides a publisher-subscriber mechanism for processing and storing data streams in a fault-tolerant way. It uses streaming social data, Geo-spatial data or sensor data from various devices. Kafka acts like a plugin for Spark, Hadoop, Storm, HBase, Flink and many others for big data analytics.
Using Kafka for real-time streamingÂ
To build real-time streaming applications that react to streams to do real-time data analytics.
To transform, react, aggregate, and join real-time data flows.
To perform complex event processing.
To work with other platforms e.g. Flink, Druid etc.. and provide solution for stream processing, messaging, analytics, website activity tracking, log aggregation and operational metrics.

Success Stories
Real-time analytics on Real-time Streaming?
Integrating Kafka with Apache Druid to analyse data in motion
Apache Druid is a real-time analytics database designed for fast slice-and-dice analytics (“OLAP” queries) on large data sets. Most often, Druid powers use cases where real-time ingestion, fast query performance, and high uptime are important.
Druid is commonly used as the database backend for GUIs of analytical applications, or for highly-concurrent APIs that need fast aggregations. Druid works best with event-oriented data.
Common application areas of Druid
- Clickstream analytics including web and mobile analytics
- Network telemetry analytics including network performance monitoring
- Server metrics storage
- Supply chain analytics including manufacturing metrics
- Application performance metrics
- Digital marketing/advertising analytics
- Business intelligence/OLAP
