Apache Kafka 101: Brokers (2023)

Introduction to Kafka Brokers

In this section, Tim Berglund introduces Kafka brokers and explains their role in the Kafka distributed system.

Kafka Brokers

  • Kafka is a distributed system composed of a network of machines called brokers.
  • Brokers can be deployed as separate physical servers, cloud instances, containers running on pods, or virtualized servers.
  • Each broker runs the Kafka broker process and hosts a set of Kafka partitions.
  • Brokers handle incoming requests to write new events to partitions or read events from them.
  • They also handle replication of partitions between each other.
  • The design priority for brokers is simplicity to ensure easy scalability.

The transcript does not provide any additional information beyond what is summarized above.
