💡Starting the Kafka ecosystem requires starting the Zookeeper server and the Kafka server.
✨Creating a topic involves defining the number of partitions and replication factor.
📋The producer pushes messages to a topic, while the consumer consumes those messages.
🔑The offset explorer helps monitor how bulk messages are distributed across partitions.
🔍The command line interface can be used to create and describe topics, as well as to produce and consume messages.
