Apache Kafka

Apache Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform that lets services publish and consume ordered streams of messages. This tag collects guides about using Kafka to keep RSS and Atom feeds fresh. Articles explain how to produce a small event after an article is committed, write a consumer that commits offsets only after success and make the rebuild safe to repeat. They also cover dead-letter topics, atomic file writes, lag monitoring and a timer as a safety net. The advice helps developers deliver new articles into a feed within seconds and share them on social networks automatically.
