In working with Apache Kafka, I used it to organize streaming data transfer between microservices and event processing systems. Kafka provides high performance and reliable message delivery. For example, in Python, using the kafka-python library, you can create producers and consumers:
from kafka import KafkaProducer, KafkaConsumer
producer = KafkaProducer(bootstrap_servers='localhost:9092')
producer.send('topic_name', b'Hello Kafka')
producer.flush()
consumer = KafkaConsumer('topic_name', bootstrap_servers='localhost:9092')
for message in consumer:
print(message.value)
FastStream is a less common term; it might refer to FastAPI or FastStream as stream processing. If it's about FastStream, it could be a library or technology for fast data stream processing, similar to Kafka but focused on low latency. Experience with such tools includes setting up streams, real-time event processing, and integration with other systems.
