Apache Kafka is an asynchronous messaging service.

  • Kafka Producer is a program which publishes messages to a Kafka Broker.
  • Kafka Broker is a server which stores messages in a category called Kafka topic.
  • Kafka Consumer is a program which reads messages from a Kafka topic.

In order to get a hang of how these concepts work try going through the Kafka Quickstart Tutorial.
