What is the difference between thinking in terms of things and thinking in terms of events?
—Thinking in terms of things involves breaking the world down into distinct entities, while thinking in terms of events focuses on the activities or occurrences happening in the system.
How are events stored in Kafka?

What is Kafka Connect used for?
—Kafka Connect is a tool that enables data integration with other systems, allowing data to be ingested into Kafka topics and exported to external systems.
What is Kafka Streams?
—Kafka Streams is a Java API provided by Kafka that allows real-time analysis of data in Kafka topics, enabling developers to build stream processing applications.
What is Confluent Cloud?
—Confluent Cloud is a fully-managed service that provides Kafka as a service in the cloud, allowing users to use Kafka without having to manage the infrastructure themselves.
