Apache Kafka

[benbjohnson]

Overview

Status: Proposal

Apache Kafka is a scalable, distributed publish-subscribe messaging system. It allows organizations to use it as an event bus and decouple systems from one another.

Sections

• Basics of Apache Kafka
• Replication
• Internals / Zookeeper interaction

+1 for this. Your raft explanation was magnificent. Thanks!

[benbjohnson]

Update: I finally started working on this. The Raft visualization was time intensive so I've been trying to find a way to make the format useful while also making it easier to code up. I'm working on getting D3.js visualizations embeddable inside medium.com so that I can do a better narrative around the visualization. Something sort of similar to Mike Bostock's algorithm visualization post:

http://bost.ocks.org/mike/algorithms/

I'll post the narrative for review once I get it written up. I'd love some feedback at that point before I really dig into the visualization side.

Nice, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Fantastic. Looking forward to it. Thanks for update.

Really basic start to the Kafka post:

http://thesecretlivesofdata.com/kafka/basics/

Just some "intro to log processing" and a simple log visualization. I was going to post larger chunks but I figured that I'd get some feedback as I go. Feedback welcome!

[benbjohnson]

Also, my goal is to make the posts and visualizations accessible on mobile devices so feedback is welcome there too.

Thanks for including me on this. Good to see it getting going. Nice introductory visual.

I would say that it makes more than just a software developer's job easier -- in fact, it makes system designers' job easier. It's bigger than just developers IMHO.

This would be wonderful!

[tobegit3hub]

Still working on it? Need any help?

[benbjohnson]

@tobegit3hub thanks but i'm moving TSLD over to a video format and it's been slow to learn all the video tools. i'll hopefully start getting some videos out soon. :fingers_crossed: :)
