What level of work did you do with Kafka? What did you configure?

Worked with Kafka at the level of cluster configuration, topic management, and performance optimization. My tasks included:

• Configuring producers and consumers to ensure reliable message delivery.
• Setting data retention and partitioning parameters for load balancing.
• Monitoring broker status and handling errors.
• Security setup: authentication and authorization via SSL and SASL.

Example of topic configuration via command line:

kafka-topics.sh --create --topic example-topic --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --partitions 3 --replication-factor 2

Also participated in integrating Kafka with logging and analytics systems for stream data processing.
