DZone Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Over the past few years, Apache Kafka has emerged as the leading standard for streaming data. Fast-forward to the present day: Kafka has achieved ubiquity, being adopted by at least 80% of the Fortune 100. This widespread adoption is attributed to Kafka's architecture, which goes far beyond basic messaging. Kafka's architecture versatility makes it exceptionally suitable for streaming data at a vast "internet" scale, ensuring fault tolerance and data consistency crucial for supporting mission-critical applications. Flink is a high-throughput, unified batch and stream processing engine, renowned for its capability to handle continuous data streams at scale. It seamlessly integrates with Kafka and offers robust support for exactly-once semantics, ensuring each event is processed precisely once, even amidst system failures.
