Kafka — what are its features?

Features of Apache Kafka:

• High performance and scalability: Kafka can process millions of messages per second due to its distributed architecture.
• Message storage with re-read capability: messages are stored on disk for a specified period, allowing consumers to read data from the desired position.
• Partitioning and replication: data is divided into partitions for parallel processing, and replication ensures fault tolerance.
• Message order guarantees: within a single partition, message order is preserved.
• Support for various consumption models: push and pull, with the ability to scale the number of consumers.
• Integration with the ecosystem: numerous connectors and tools for integration with other systems.

In Go, client libraries such as sarama or confluent-kafka-go are often used to interact with Kafka.
