 💡 Introduction In modern enterprise applications, real-time communication between distributed systems is crucial. Apache Kafka — the powerful distributed streaming platform — enables high-throughput, fault-tolerant event-driven architectures. In this blog, we’ll see how to integrate Kafka with both Spring Boot and classic Spring Framework , using practical examples for Producer and Consumer applications. ⚙️ 1️⃣ What Is Apache Kafka? Apache Kafka is a distributed event streaming platform designed for: Publishing and subscribing to data streams Processing real-time data Connecting systems using reliable message queues Kafka is often used for: Microservice communication Log aggregation Real-time analytics BPM and workflow triggers (like jBPM event integration) 🧩 2️⃣ Core Concepts Component Description Producer Sends (publishes) messages to Kafka topics Consumer Reads messages from Kafka topics Topic A category or feed name to which messages ...
