Kafka

Apache Kafka is an open source distributed event streaming platform used for processing real-time data feeds. It is designed to efficiently and reliably process and deliver large amounts of data to applications and services in real time. Kafka is a publish-subscribe messaging system, meaning data is published by producers in one or more topics, and consumers can then subscribe to those topics to receive the data.
