What is your experience with Apache Kafka and in which projects have you used it?

Apache Kafka is a distributed data streaming platform often used for building messaging systems and real-time event processing.

Experience with Kafka typically includes:

• Setting up and managing Kafka clusters.
• Creating producers and consumers for sending and receiving messages.
• Using Kafka Streams or Kafka Connect for data processing and integration.

For example, in a real-time log processing project, I used Kafka to collect events from various servers, then processed them with Kafka Streams for aggregation and sent the results to a monitoring system. This helped reduce latency and improve data transmission reliability.

If you have no experience, you can mention that you are familiar with the basic concepts of Kafka: topics, partitions, offsets, producers, and consumers, and are ready to apply them in practice.
