S7E5 | Apache Kafka Architecture Explained: Producers, Consumers, Topics, Partitions & Brokers


Listen Later

In this episode of PithorAcademy Presents: Deep Dive, we explain the core architecture of Apache Kafka, giving you the mental model every beginner needs before diving deeper into event streaming.

Understanding Kafka’s architecture is key to making sense of concepts like offsets, consumer groups, and fault tolerance. Whether you’re a developer, data engineer, or architect, this guide will help you grasp the fundamentals of how Kafka actually works.

We cover:

  • Producers & Consumers – how data is published and consumed

  • Topics & Partitions – the backbone of Kafka scalability

  • Brokers – Kafka’s distributed storage and messaging layer

  • Zookeeper – coordination in Kafka clusters

By the end, you’ll clearly understand how all these components fit together to power scalable, fault-tolerant, and high-throughput event streaming systems used by companies like Netflix, Uber, and LinkedIn.
