Frage 8. Why is Kafka technology significant to use?
There are some advantages of Kafka, which makes it significant to use:
- High-throughput: We do not need any large hardware in Kafka, because it is capable of handling high-velocity and high-volume data. Moreover, it can also support message throughput of thousands of messages per second.
- Low Latency: Kafka can easily handle these messages with the very low latency of the range of milliseconds, demanded by most of the new use cases.
- Fault-Tolerant: Kafka is resistant to node/machine failure within a cluster.
- Durability: As Kafka supports messages replication, so, messages are never lost. It is one of the reasons behind durability.
- Scalability: Kafka can be scaled-out, without incurring any downtime on the fly by adding additional nodes.

Frage 10. What are consumers or users?
Mainly, Kafka Consumer subscribes to a topic(s), and also reads and processes messages from the topic(s). Moreover, with a consumer group name, Consumers label themselves.
In other words, within each subscribing consumer group, each record published to a topic is delivered to one consumer instance. Make sure it is possible that Consumer instances can be in separate processes or on separate machines.
