Hello guys, Javin here! I write the Javarevisited Newsletter. It offers simplified weekly discussions on Java and coding interview questions. Consider subscribing to my newsletter. And prepare for your next interview for FREE.

Hello friends, today, I am going to talk about an interesting topic and an in-demand skill, Apache Kafka. I am old enough and worked for enough years to see through different messaging platform from TIBCO RV to JMS to MQ Services to ActiveMQ, RabbitMQ and now Apache Kafka.

In one of the recent interview I was asked about Why Apache Kafka works and why it is considered a fast messaging platform, I couldn’t answer that question in a convincing way so I researched and learn more about inner working of Kafka and I today, I am going to share that experience with you guys.
