In short, replication means having multiple copies of our data spread across multiple brokers. Maintaining the same copies of data in different brokers makes possible the high availability in case one or more brokers go down or are untraceable in a multi-node Kafka cluster to server the requests. Because of this reason, it is mandatory to mention how...

On top of it as a highlight, Kafka delivers messages to both real-time and batch consumers at the same time without performance degradation. Current users of Kafka incorporate Uber, Twitter, Netflix, LinkedIn, Yahoo, Cisco, Goldman Sachs, and so forth....
