Study Notes 6.3-4: What is Kafka & Confluent Cloud

Kafka acts as a central streaming architecture for real-time data exchange in distributed systems.
Producers send messages to Kafka topics, analogous to attaching flyers to a notice board for subscribers (consumers) to read.
Each Kafka message includes a key for routing, value for payload, and timestamp for event occurrence.
Kafka's key features include robustness through replication, scalability via partitioning, and flexibility with integration options.
Kafka serves as a communication channel in microservices environments, facilitating data exchange between diverse systems.
Kafka Connect enables Change Data Capture (CDC) by capturing database changes and publishing them as Kafka messages.
Operational best practices for Kafka include monitoring cluster health, capacity planning, and schema registry usage.
Confluent Cloud is a managed service for Kafka, simplifying infrastructure management for real-time streaming applications.
Setting up Confluent Cloud involves creating a Kafka cluster, generating API keys, defining topics, and producing/consuming messages.
