Decoupling the Data Pipeline with Kafka - A (Very) Simple Real Life Example

Read Original

This article demonstrates a real-world use case for Apache Kafka in decoupling a data pipeline. Using the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) for IRC data as an example, it explains how Kafka provides flexibility by separating data production from consumption, allowing processes to stop/start without data loss, and enabling data replay to multiple consumers.
